Photograph by David Coleman. Saucer magnolias (Magnolia x soulangeana) display their characteristic spring blooms in the Enid A. Haupt Garden at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. This hybrid magnolia species, created by crossing Magnolia denudata and Magnolia liliiflora, typically blooms in early spring before its leaves emerge, producing large cup-shaped flowers in shades of pink and white. The Enid A. Haupt Garden is a 4.2-acre Victorian-style formal garden situated between the Smithsonian Castle and the National Museum of Natural History. Established in 1987 and named after philanthropist Enid A. Haupt, the garden was designed as an urban oasis featuring both native and exotic plant species arranged in formal geometric patterns. The garden serves multiple functions as both a public green space and an educational resource, showcasing horticultural practices and plant collections that complement the Smithsonian's natural history mission. The saucer magnolia, originally developed in France in the 1820s, has become a popular ornamental tree in temperate climates worldwide due to its spectacular spring flowering display and adaptability to urban environments. The Haupt Garden's collection includes approximately 60 different plant species arranged in themed sections, with the magnolias serving as prominent specimen trees that provide seasonal interest and demonstrate principles of landscape design within the museum complex.
