Weird weather on my end of the globe last year somehow forced my Magnolia to flower twice in the same year. I sure wasn't complaining, it's the only time I've seen it do that. The second batch of flowers came in mid-summer after the tree was damaged by a week's worth of incredibly hot weather even by our standards, many of the leaves went all crispy and brown and fell off from the heat (after all, magnolia's are cool-climate plants who in their ideal environment would never see a day even close to 40 Celsius ) and I guess it somehow "tricked" the tree into going through its flowering cycle again before developing a fresh crop of leaves soon afterwards
