Tomorrow is Patriots' Day in Massachusetts, which means it's a good time to roll out this all-timer from our archives.

An infographic titled "Magnolia molecules: perfume and medicines" details the plant's chemistry. Pink petals contain cyanidin and peonidin pigments. Aroma molecules include aldehydes like 2-nonenal and heptanal, and terpenes like alpha-pinene and linalool. Medicinal bark compounds include magnolol and honokiol, which have antioxidant properties. It also highlights yulanosides, unique phenylethanoid glycosides. Chemical structures for these compounds surround a central magnolia branch photo.

Did you know magnolia petals are edible?

I didn't until this year, and discovering that they are led me to this exploration of magnolia chemistry (and experiments in making magnolia gin).

My front yard is bounded on three sides by very tall trees and my house on the other... So, that's as good as it will get.

I am pondering a focus point flowering tree for my front yard. Get's good sun. Magnolia (a saucer type), redbud, or dogwood. Looking for something in the 20 foot tall range when mature. #gardensky

If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.

I say you make this colleague/student's choice. Each vote is placed on a dollar bill. Give it a timeline and then use the proceeds for charity and buy the mug of their choice.

This is Mav. She couldn't contain her excitement during her ultrasound. Appreciated the attention and honestly a cold, wet belly rub is still a belly rub. 13/10 (IG: duluthveterinaryhospital)

As a New Englander, I hope we don't get to T. As Teddy, I hope we do.

Hey #gardensky now I am looking for plant labels. I have been using bamboo ones, but they age poorly and break easily. I am thinking metal (eek $$), but am open to suggestions.

Does anybody have suggestions for bulk purchases of native plants (Massachusetts) for naturalizing under oak/maple trees? I have started killing off the Lesser Celandine...

I was with Moose. Moose wasn't there.

But is it? Industry consolidation has shown so many positives over the past few decades...
