here is my magnolia Jane. such a lovely plant. I originally planted one in full sun and moist soil and it croaked. Got a 2nd one and planted in shade, ave. moist soil and it has thrived. here is a pic.

Last week I got 2 more m. Jane. They were on sale, 5 gal plants for $11 ea at my HD. I was thrilled. I am not sure they will bloom this year (though they had buds) but that's OK w/ me, I can wait a year for a show. Here's a tip: You can get plants past their bloom time for next to nothing if you keep your eyes open. Down side: you have to wait a whole year to see bloom action, I personally don't mind the wait. I'm talking about my area, don't know if the same elsewere. Examples, azaleas (not encore), fruit trees, m. soulangeana, TX Mtn laurel.
