What a surprise to see magnolia liliiflora grown that much while I was looking for cherry blossoms! I found these beautiful tulip-shaped purple flowers in not only my neighborhood but Tokyo National Museum. Magnolia liliiflora is known as Mulan magnolia or purple magnolia.

These purple flowers and white ones in bloom I saw late February are both magnolia but the difference in the color makes them look two completely different flowers.
They have a kid, magnolia x soulangeana or saucer magnolia, i.e., a hybrid plant between white and purple magnolias. Saucer magnolia is pink.

桜ばかり見ているうちに紫木蓮（シモクレン）がこんなことになってました。しかも近所と東京国立博物館で！びっくりです。2月に白木蓮を見かけましたが色の違いだけで全く違う花に見えます。
紫木蓮と白木蓮にはピンク色の「更紗木蓮」という子供がいるそうです。見てみたいです😊
