Photograph by David Coleman. Saucer magnolia trees (Magnolia × soulangeana) at the George Mason Memorial display their distinctive fuzzy buds, signaling the early stages of spring flowering. These deciduous magnolias, with their characteristic tulip-shaped buds covered in gray fuzzy casings, typically begin budding in late February or early March in Washington DC's climate. The trees will eventually produce large, showy pink to white flowers before their leaves emerge. The George Mason Memorial, located in West Potomac Park near the Tidal Basin, was dedicated in 2002 to honor the influential Virginia statesman and Constitutional Convention delegate. The memorial features a bronze statue of Mason seated on a bench with an open book, surrounded by a landscaped garden that includes these ornamental magnolias. George Mason (1725-1792) authored the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which later influenced both the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. The 0.9-acre memorial garden includes formal plantings arranged around a circular pool and granite walls inscribed with Mason's writings. The saucer magnolia, a hybrid created in France in the 1820s, has become a popular ornamental tree in Washington DC and is featured in several memorial landscapes across the National Mall area.
