Almost all the Magnolia's are now flowering.
This one is Lenard Missel which we only planted late last year in the new back border.
This is going to be a great plant as it grows over the coming years.
The oldest magnolia we have, Stellarta , has been flowering for a couple of weeks now, looking glorious and full.
Magnolia Susan is also full of beautiful pink blooms. It growing well and filling the space.
A closer look at the Susan blooms.
Magnolia Black Tulip is full of beautiful blooms still with more flowering. We have last autumn cut back some of the shrubs surrounding this tree and propped the main trunk up , hoping that this will help make the tree grow more upright instead of out trying to find more light.
We also have a yellow magnolia that flowers slightly later, so that's still to come plus late last year we planted an evergreen magnolia which will take a while to flower.
Although the flowering season only last for a short time, they are well worth waiting for.
Very pretty! Last year, the squirrels ate all the blooms off of our magnolia before they even had a chance to open up. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
