(Magnolia grandiflora)
The magnolia has been blooming for longer than bees have existed. That single fact — that this flower’s story predates its most famous pollinator by tens of millions of years — tells you almost everything you need to know about its meaning. Dignity. Endurance. A beauty so ancient it had to invent its own path.
Medicinal use:
Magnolia grandiflora contains phenolic constituents shown to possess significant antimicrobial activity. Magnolol, honokiol, and 3,5′-diallyl-2′-hydroxy-4-methoxybiphenyl exhibited significant activity against Gram-positive and acid-fast bacteria and fungi.
