They are AMAZING right now! The colours are fabulous, and this season has given them the perfect conditions. No frost, the winds stopped before they flowered, and they’ve been warm. All these have come together to create the most magnificent magnolia show
Ahh same! I am loving the show they're putting on right now. We have a magnolia tree in our garden but it's a late flowering one (no idea what type), so it's a treat later in the year. I didn't know that the petals are edible!
Thank you for this Zabby! That magnolia predate bees and winged insects is so fascinating 🧐 I resd a piece about magnolias this past week where I learned that magnolias grown from seeds take 30 years to flower, which is such an incredible time scale ✨

Great post! The idea of a species of tree pre-dating bees blows my mind 🤯

Magnolias are beautiful, the big showy flowers and the white smaller star ones. Love them all
