The types of magnolias commonly seen here in Wisconsin (M.
soulangiana, M. stellata, M. x loebneri) seem to form their flower
buds in the fall, and are noticeable all winter.
I have had a Magnolia sieboldii for several years and it has not yet
bloomed. Since I saw no fat flower buds over the winter, I thought
that it would not flower this spring either. However, when examining
the breaking buds the other day, I observed the following:

Might this be the beginning of a flower bud? Are there species of
Magnolia that do not show large flowering buds over the winter?
