i love Magnolias,lovely photo.

I have seen a few magnolias having a second flush this year, is this usual?

Grandmage It is in my garden and the surrounding area,it never seems to reduce the spring flowering,There are 5 other different Magnolias in the garden none of them flower other than spring

Spooky !

What beauties

Mine has had too flushes before now. :o))))

I have a Yellow Magnolia that my daughter in Australia sent me from a plant supplier for my birthday, this is the first year its been in so haven't seen it flower yet. Its called Yellow River. Can't wait to see it in flower..............

I purchased Yellow River about 4 years ago (they are American introductions)It was already budded so flowered well the following spring but made the mistake of leaving it in the container while i developed an area in the garden to plant it ,it either dried out or did not like the root restriction,by the end of Summer it was dead .To say the least i was upset.It was a nice colour. but a bit more cream than yellow.Artistic licence I call it.Hope yours does well for you.show us a picture next spring.
I purchased a young plant of M.Betty this is the smaller flowered type like M.Susan but should be pink.

Thanks for the info Bjs but sorry you lost yours. I certainly will post you a photo of it next spring. ..Can't wait...........Not just so that I can see it flower, but it will mean we wont have long to wait before we're back to SUMMER 2011, and winter will be over!!!
