very pretty tree in my friend's garden.

I am not sure what this lovely tree is called, but the flower is similar to a magnolia, but is flowering along with foliage, & I think all magnolias flower on bare wood. I have heard of a tulip tree, so perhaps this is one? Whatever it is, I love it.

I have this one and it flowers exactly like that, lots of flowers next to leaves. Needs fertilizing and then it will flower twice in a season - it's beautiful ! There are many varieties of magnolia but this one is good because you can trim it and grow it as a small tree or leave it as it is and it will be a nice looking bush.

So it seems as if it is one of the magnolias? I never realised that a magnolia would flower on anything but bare wood, so I am being educated. Great! Now I will know what to look for, as I think this little tree is totally gorgeous.

I think this one will have to go into the garden somewhere Lincslass. I love magnolias but my OH doesn't like the way they flower on bare wood. This one is flowering along with the leaves & seems to be more of a large shrub than a small tree. it is flowering later than all the other magnolias I have seen in gardens.

This is nice Dwyllis....

We have Magnolia Susan too...but it's still quite young so only flowers once in Spring for us, and we have trained it as a Standard....
