Bucharest’s flowers have finally bloomed, and over 400 magnolia trees from the Romanian capital are growing at the exact moment. What can you find these days in Bucharest? Flowers of many kinds, from cherry to magnolia and many others. If you’re wondering where you may find these gorgeous trees, Google Maps even has a map of magnolias.
Facts about Magnolia
Magnolias are ornamental plants native to Asia and America, with huge, gorgeous blossoms and a pleasant scent.
Magnolia is a member of the Magnoliaceae plant family. This sun-loving plant is native to warm-climate Asian countries. Magnolia bushes are available in over 70 different kinds. The enormous, cup-shaped flowers with white, pink, purple, and yellow petals have a lovely perfume, which is a frequent trait. Magnolia flowers late in the spring and reaches a height of 4 to 8 meters.
Magnolias are revered in China as a sign of purity and dignity. On the other hand, the Japanese feel that magnolia blossoms represent love for nature and the life force. Magnolia flowers are therefore presented as a gift to new mothers. Green magnolia represents excitement, joy, health, and luck to the person who receives it. In contrast, purple magnolia represents encouragement and a wonderful sense of healing to the person who receives it.
Magnolia is well-known in traditional Chinese medicine for its medicinal properties. As a result, the tree’s bark is used to aid in treating anxiety, insomnia, coughing, intestinal spasms, and sinusitis.

The magnolia map is a project started by Diana Robu, who set out to identify where magnolia trees may be found throughout Bucharest. Among the beauties she discovered are some of Bucharest’s most exquisite magnolias, whose colours and delicacy would make any passer-by feel at ease.
