Grandiflora!

Grand ! Lol. :o)

Exotic...

Its beautiful Stevey

Which variety is that one Stevey? I grow 'Exmouth' - my home town

Such a pretty flower and nice pastel colour, lovely when you have scented too.

I only know it as Magnolia Grandiflora..sorry. It is such a lovely tree though, and puts up with our climate well, and it's had to put up with being planted into quite rubbly ground.

I know it as Southern Magnolia. It's beautiful.

The scent is the thing which I love most, althought the blossoms are huge and lovely too..and the tree is pretty attractive.

Lovely cream colour and love the centre

How did this weather over this winter.

6d - mine looks fine

Thank you Andrew was just wondering because of the last winter we had as they say they are not frost hardy, so if I see one going I can buy one.

You often see them planted against the south front of big houses. This gives them added protection and the wall acts wih a night storage heater effect, storing heat during the day and giving it out again in the night. In mild areas, they can be grown as free-standing trees

Thank you Andrew I don't think then this one would survive in my area as I am not in the south and have recently learned that the Midlands where I live gets the coldest weather.
