Two years ago I posted a question if anyone knew what the plant
was that I'd discovered in some undergrowth. It was about a foot
high, sickly, yellowing leaved and on it's last legs. I can't
remember who it was but it was suggested it was a magnolia and in
need of some iron. After some TLC and regular iron fertiliser it is now
over 6 feet
tall and the first flowers have just opened. All 25 of them, and
yes it's a wonderful large-flowered magnolia. A bit like this,

Thanks a lot everyone who helped back then. :-)
We bought a 3 feet tall magnolia from Lidl for ?6.50 last autumn.
It is covered
in flowers.
I don't care!!!!! :-)
Neither do I. One of my neighbours has a glorious magnolia on
the boundary of their front garden. It is the bane of their next
door neighbours' life when it showers petals all over their front
lawn. 8-)
Got to hoover my mothers lawn..........all pink now!
