Magnolia stellata flowers?

20 years ago

We have an old (40+ years?) Magnolia stellata. To me it looks like it's not doing all that great but I've been waiting and watching since we bought the house (2+ years).

This year, the flowers are blooming and turning brown before they even fully open. Last year, not the case at all.

We've had frequent light rains, but as I recall, we did last year when it bloomed, too, and didn't have this problem.

Is this another sign of aging or more likely a disease of some kind?

Any direction on what the problem might be is appreciated. Thanks!
