Special thanks to timmimom@att.net for calling attention to a
mistake I made in identifying this particular species of Magnolia:
"
[This] is not a Magnolia acuminata (Cucumber);it is a Magnolia stellata.
The Magnolia acuminata starts to bloom after leaves are on, The stellata
blooms without leaves in the very early spring and has giant "daisy-like" flowers.
