I am in S. Texas. This week some unknown tree has bloomed in town, and it has the most magnificent large purple blossoms I have ever seen. They are pretty rare here....I suspect it is because it is not a native species. The tree is large but doesn't (I don't think) grow as tall as an oak. The leaves are fairly wide and rounded in shape. I thought it might be a Magnolia Galaxy, but the blossoms don't look like magnolia at all. I can't find a good on-line pictorial reference to use for ID'ing unknown trees and plants.
