Early Magnolia


The early Magnolias have had a bad time of it this spring. Early warm spells punctuated by frosts have killed buds at least twice. The one in the back garden has no more than 10% of it's flowers left to bloom. This one on the north side of the house is blooming more slowly and has 80% of it's flowers yet to open. It's a gamble each year as to whether these trees will bloom or not.
