Looks like Magnolia grandiflora to me. Southern magnolia, native here and the state flower. Grows to be HuGE and are beautiful specimens

Very long lived too. There's a 200+ yr old specimen close to me :D

that'd be beautiful, a couple years ago I witnessed the council cut down a 150 year old tree because it was in the way of their path.....needless to say I was pissed off and made sure they knew about it :P

The native Americans used to take the blooms and cup them in their hands and inhales the fragrance. It's said that it had a euphoria and intoxicating effect. Never tried it myself but always found it interesting
