Magnolia x Loebneri'Leonard Messel'

I wish I could grow magnolias. I have tried and failed miserably. That is a stunning tree.

Oh my word! If mine gets that happy, I'm in trouble! It's fantastic Brian!

Looking back at my pics I would stress that the branches catching the sunlight are not part of it that is a Chestnut tree not yet in leaf

Ah yes, still, it's pretty huge. Interestingly the RHS has it as 4-8m, which is quite a range, so some specimens must grow a lot taller than others...or I guess, it depends on where you live, in which case I should be ok! When I saw yours I thought I might have to move mine to the boundary, which I still might do while it is so small.

How lovely Brian . . . looking absolutely gorgeous: beautiful pics :))

stunning display !!

Hope its protected from frosts.

Very nice Brian it looks a lovely picture..

wow wow wow Brian so pretty and pretty big to :o))

What a delight it must be to look out and see this Brian. Magnolia envy here, my little Stellata has buds, just needs fattening up!

What a fantastic tree! It must really love your garden!

I agree wonderful Bjs...:>)

Lots of flowers on yours Bjs. I bought 'Leonard Messel' last year because of the pinkish flowers. It is still in the pot. I already have 2 white stellatas which were on the property when we moved in some years back. I hope that mine will do as well as yours.

I also have two white Stellata they are a few days later. M.Souleganea is also almost on it's peak will show them soon even though I have posted them in previous years.

Please do.
I also have a saucer magnolia "Susan" and yellow "Elizabeth", but they do not bloom yet.

Yes i have Susan but no yellow I did buy one but lost it in the first winter also have a small one not flowered yet called 'Betty'

Wow that is magnificent!

Thats a wonderful sight Bjs......

Thats a sight thats well worth waiting for.

Stroller
Yes I do wait for that one as it's always the first Magnolia to flower but this year only by a couple of days,strange spring every thing coming at once.

So that is a medium........obviously a happy medium!!
