The Yulan magnolia is considered to be the envoy of spring, as it blooms each year from February to March. Last Sunday, along the bank of the Gongshui River in Xuan'en County, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, central China's Hubei Province, dozens of Yulan magnolias bloomed against the azure sky, adding a sense of elegance to the spring.
