When we moved here, this magnolia was about 7 feet tall. It is now …. this big! Our friend Ursula in Germany wanted to see a photograph of it, so here it is, for you! Also, our American friend Lynn posted pictures of his magnolia tree, day by day, until it became covered with snow! So perhaps he would like to see it too – we have no snow here, I’m glad to say. I think this was the best day for it, as most of the flowers were out and hardly any had lost their petals. They last such a short time, it’s sad really. I like the fact that the forsythia is so rich and yellow behind it with all of this colour and scent, flanking the drive. It’s such a welcoming sight.
So beautiful!!
Wonderful
Thanks, Lynn. +Lynn David Newton . The bottom branches will sometimes root, and we have given them to a friend or two, though not sure if they survived and grew.
Yep, that's a pretty one. And with the low branches, it looks almost like a bush rather than a tree.
+Ursula Klepper I was okay making my comment until I got to the past where I should have clicked submit. I guess I maybe hit cancel instead, as I didn't see any comment appear. They are beautiful, as I expect from you.
There is a translate banner on the right side of the blog but I don't know if it works for the comments, so maybe you could learn German? Lol! :o) +Ellie Kennard
They are gorgeous, Ursula! I tried to comment, but maybe it didn't work, as I didn't understand what it said. Lol! +Ursula Klepper
Thank you so much! I can't believe it that you have this wonderful tree in your garden!! It seems to be the same kind of Magnolia like we had here!! :o) (you can see some images of it in my blog if you like http://meinegartenbilder.blogspot.de/2014/04/die-magnolie.html)

+Christin McLeod – mine too and the smell is unbelievable. With that and the blossoms on the fruit trees too! Thanks very much Christin.
I can only imagine how divine it must smell right now! I love magnolias. They're one of my favorite trees. Beautiful, +Ellie Kennard. 🙂
very nice spring photo.
So beautiful.
Gorgeous!
+Ellie Kennard Wonderful looking. Only sad that this don't last long.
You are so right, Ellie. 🙂
No amount of refresh is doing anything to this one, +Tom Crews – Ah! Just managed it on the fourth or fifth hard refresh. It shouldn't be this much effort. :/
Thanks, Tom.
Sometimes by refreshing your page once or twice disappearing posts return +Ellie Kennard . Mine have been disappearing a lot lately.
A classic case of disappearing posts. I am hoping that this comment will restore it. But it is not restored.
Thanks a lot +Sumit Sen
+Shelly Gunderson – I love it. Just wish it lasted longer. Thanks very much. 🙂

What a lovely shot!
