Default Magnolia question

A friend of mine asked this on a forum.

At the bottom of our garden we have a rather large Magnolia tree (not sure
of the real name but it's the one with the large pinky purple tulip type
flowers). I have a lot of my [bird] feeders in this tree and was planning on
cutting it back at the end of September. However, I'm looking at it as I
type and it is covered in flowers, it has never flowered twice before, we
normally get a beautiful show early on , then get a frost, flowers go brown
etc.. etc... but it looks absolutely gorgeous at the moment, is this normal?

Mine has flowered twice a year for the last three years, and notice others are
too, does not seem to matter on the age of the tree
