Magnolia
Magnolia tree, Magnolia blossoms, Southern magnolia
With huge creamy blossoms and glossy evergreen leaves, the magnolia is the signature tree of the American South, where it's the state flower of both Mississippi and Louisiana. A magnolia in a dream may carry a mix of grace and strength, much like the Southern phrase 'steel magnolia' for someone who's soft-spoken on the surface and tough underneath. Magnolias are also among the oldest flowering plants on earth, so the dream may touch on dignity, endurance and roots that run deep. A tree in full bloom beside a house speaks of warmth and a welcoming home.
