What Kind of Tree is This?

As you already knew, we are living in a rental house at this time. The spring flowers are coming up and this pretty tree bloomed in our side yard. If anyone knows what kind of tree this is, please let me know. It is so beautiful! Those pink blossoms are starting to fall off. By next week, they will probably be all gone. I love flowers and flowering trees, but I don't know the names of very many. Thanks, for helping me with this:) Photo: Mine from ten minutes ago.

I see Grumpy Old Man with a Black Cat said it was a magnolia. I didn't know they grew this far north.

These people who own this house, they had these trees put in. I'm not sure who's idea it was, probably his wife. @just4him

I am sure it is Magnolia as it is very common here. In spring we can see them in the parks.

I know maple, evergreen, weeping willow, cedar, pine and oak trees. Any other tree, I don't know.

Thanks, it's a pretty tree but it's quite young.

It is beautiful and a grumpy old man with a black cat is right.

Mike is correct this is a magnolia, when the flowers drop the leaves replace the flowers.

I would have said magnolia too. They grow really well in Melbourne where one son lives.

This is a saucer magnolia tree. Mine is a Southern Magnolia with solid white blooms. I saw the first blooms today.
