Magnolia Loebnerii Leonard Messel

Beautiful magnolia, love the colour. There are so many lovely varieties, its hard to choose one for the garden. I planted one this year Stellata in white ( only a small one), just buds no flowers, not sure if it will flower this year now, hope mine looks like yours next year :)

it is beautiful Karen - you have a wonderful looking garden to match !!

So dainty, that one. I don't have the courage - or the room - to try these.

That's a pretty one, Karen :o)

Very pretty Karen

Thanks everyone. I saw this in Carol Klein's garden on the telly, and thought 'that's the one for me'.

When I see Carol Klein's garden on the TV, I always want her Lakeland-type Terrier. ;o)

Yes, they are really cute!

I do like magnolias but tend to picture the large ones,which are little too formal for me, I like yours as it is dainty and pretty and would fit nicely into my garden;0))

I like it very pretty..bought Stellata last year and it flowered was so shocked.

The stellatas are lovely too. Pansy, I highly recommend it. The colour is deeper than it looks in this pic, but not by much really.

ThanksKaren will check themout at the GC '0)

It looks like Stellata flowers too, just a lovely colour think I like this one better than stellata. As you know not fond of white flowers, but this one is very pretty.

Yes, I prefer lilac to white any day!
