Sounds almost as good as the magnolias which somebody decided to plant in our housing development, back in the 1950s I guess!
Now, really, I have nothing against magnolias. But they don't seem suited for the Philadelphia climate. The petals die at the slightest frost, so it isn't unusual for them to be dead after only a few days if a warm spell is followed by a late spring cold snap. Even in a good year, they're not around that long, and between the dead blossoms, the seed pods, and the leaves, you're pretty much cleaning up after it several times a year.
