An exceptional collection of magnolias

With each flowering, the plant produces only one to two flowers.

“For how many more nights will it bloom?

One, two or three?

“Asks Marie Degaey, in charge of development of the Loire Valley arboretum, quoted by France 3.

The Arboretum of Ingrannes has the first national collection of magnolias, including various rare species, and many other plants difficult to observe elsewhere.

The place will be open until November 6, but to admire the magnolia delavayi, it will therefore be necessary to hurry.
