magnolia grandiflora goliath - help me please

'grand' and 'goliath' alone would be a hint. To be fair, 'grandiflora' refers to the size of the blooms, not the tree. (I looked it up :-) 'goliath', however, does seem fairly obvious. Agreed but not a lot of small trees have very large flowers on - or not that I can think of at present! No doubt somebody will come up with a list of hundreds! 'goliath' is a dead give away. We do find that here, most people do ask, if in doubt but then there's usually someone around who can help them. I think one of the problems with some gc's is the 'supermarket' attitude that is taken. The only person who can actually be found is the person on the check out....... -- Sacha (remove the weeds after garden to email _________________ 'Twouldn't surprise me if someone finds a lichen 'goliath' !! Many names seem to be gross exaggerations. Rose 'maigold' however begins full bloom during April and throughout May~~Well named and scented too. A local G.C, rather nicely, has an obvious and well used selection of RHS encyclopaedias and booklets on display. [Not for sale] I liked the ref. to the Queen and King Holly. How many must have been caught out? |
