The magnolia has just started to flower.

Lovely shape.

It is Michaella, I agree.....

Wow

Stunning display Homebird I can see lots more buds there to.?

So pleased it has done better this year for you Homebird.I prefer the buds opening more and more rather than all open at once I find its more interesting to watch each day.

I suppose the rain did help also weather affects plants to last year the only Clematis that grew and flowered was the ones in my pots and just the top of the garden the others nothing .
