Many are pollinated by beetles thus the carpels are extremely tough.  The genus was named after the French botanist, Pierre Mangol. If anyone knows how to pronounce that name, please let us know.  A web search on the came up empty. Magnolias are closely associated with all southern US states, not just South Carolina, but they sure are prolific around Charleston. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Denise Ippolito for finding the perfect down low blossom. In the shade no less. <\/p>\n<h3>Facebook<\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to like and follow BAA on Facebook by clicking on the logo link upper right.  Tanks a stack!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Support the BAA Blog.
