I took this picture yesterday but i am not sure what it is,

Is it a chamelia?
cant see the flower very well but the shiny leaves remind me of chamelia?
hope someone can help

Magnolia, as you thought. And when I can find my book I can probably find out which one too!

Magnolia Grandiflora?

aaah I quit hehe

Yep, looks like Magnolia Grandiflora, the underside of the leaves are brown and furry.

Definitely magnolia grandiflora - well done Lily

Saves me having to find the book,

You've been a long time Owdboggy, where's the book - in the loft? lol

Actually, it is in Loughborough, lent it to a daughter. Must get it back!
