Magnificant Magnolia

That's a perfect way to show a bloom from beginning to end David ,well done ! do you think you could fast forward it so that we can see it in motion :o)) only joking !!

Ill give it a try next year Amy LOL

Well done for remembering to take such regular photos! It makes a really interesting series - brilliant!

Just wonderful arn't they.....great photos.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever, its loveliness increases
it will never, fade into nothingness. (John Keats)

Your photography illustrates these words perfectly.

I love magnolia but i find them expensive in GCs.. Yours is a beauty Mushy..

have you any idea which one it is mushy please, it looks like the one I have and I have no name for it. Beautiful series of photos, very good idea. Love them all. :O) my oh bought mine for our 12th wedding anniversary think from an auction lol and obviously no name with it it was just a stick and it is huge now 22 years later. lol :O)

I'll try and find out Oliveoil

Oliveoil
i believe its called Magnolia kobus from reading up on the RHS website
Hope that helps
Would love to see a photo of your one

Thank you Steragram,Diannebulley,youngdaisydee and olive for your comments i find it quite interesting to do.I did one a few years ago on the tree fern ,ill have to look for another one now

I thought I had put some pictures of it on here - thanks for the name by the way, look at page 13 of my pictures it is on the top row and the whole tree is on row 3 of that page, not very close up but think you will see the resemblance of yours. thanks again :O) B Will go out and see if I can get a better picture of the flower and put it on here in a mo.

Oliveoil

glad you like it Mushy, posted a close up of the flower today, it is getting a battering today though, windy and hailstones today along with rain. We did get sunshine at times but it was very cold too.
