The Southern magnolia (M. grandiflora) is indigenous to the southeastern United States, from North Carolina to east Texas.
It is also planted as an ornamental elsewhere where climate permits, such as the specimen below at the botanical garden in Nantes, France.

I don't like Bari Weiss, and I don't like Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes or Hasan Piker, and as far as the right goes, I don't care which of these two factions "wins", but I hope each does a large amount of damage to the other on the way down.

The 🇩🇪 word for Welsh (the language) is Walisisch, though I didn't know (or couldn't remember) the word for Wales, and it is just "Wales", directly from English.
Underwhelming 😂
A Welsh person is a Waliser, not to be confused with a Walliser (someone from Canton Valais, 🇨🇭).

Interesting conversation with Prof. Mark Horton regarding the 1587 Roanoke colony, including re: new and interesting developments.
As was long surmised, the survivors of that colony went to live with and apparently largely assimilated into the local Native American culture.

He said, about no European island state in particular.
