March blooming Magnolia?

| I have a tree blooming in the yard right now that has blooms like a magnolia. I was told it was a lemon magnolia but I cannot find any information on this name. The flowers have a lovely lemony scent. The leaves are light green in color, not glossy green like typical Magnolias. Does anyone have any idea what this tree could be? |

| Magnolia virginiana, the sweet bay magnolia, has leaves that are a lighter green than the southern magnolia. Its flowers have a lemony scent. Mine is still wrapped in winter here in northern Va. I suppose that to the coastal south they might be blooming this early. Check out pictures of this tree and see if that is what you have. |
