The star magnolia (Magnolia stellata) is native to Japan, flowering in early spring. Its flowers resemble
white magnolia (Yulan magnolia) very much, but there are several differences. Star magnolia flowers are star-shaped and a little smaller than white magnolia. The way of flowering is also different, i.e., star magnolia flowers fully open while white magnolias only half open even when in full bloom.
On 13 September 2025, I found something interesting. A star magnolia tree had several fruits beside another tree with many buds, one of which was half open (4th photo). This is, however, not unusual (at least in Japan). Magnolias are known to flower outside the flowering season due to unusual weather or other reason. This magnolia tree may have produced buds and flowers in September because of the extremely hot summer this year.

シデコブシ（四手辛夷）です。日本原産です。初春に花を付けます。
白木蓮とよく似ていますが大きさも咲き方も違います。
ところが、2025年9月13日、不思議な現象に遭遇。実を付けているシデコブシの隣に開花しかけているシデコブシの蕾を発見（4枚目）。返り咲きというそうです。モクレン科の花には割とあることのようです。酷暑のせいかもしれません。
