I agree. Definitely a magnolia, but which species is a question. Many
deciduous
magnolias will produce seedheads similar in form to those in the pic and
there
are dozens of species and countless more hybrid forms. Post a picture when it
blooms next spring and you might get a more accurate ID.

You can do a Google search on "Magnolia", maybe try filtering out
references to Bed & Breakfasts and the Grateful Dead to cut your results
down to 5 figures, and see if you find one that matches. I I.D.'d my dog
by entering "sheepdog", and found her picture on the second page of
responses under "Catalan Sheepdog". Also, Google will do an image
search, returning only pages that contain images and showing thumbnails
of those images.
