My valiant magnolia is trying to flower.
It knows it should.
But its still so bloody cold that the blooms are being frozen as they appear.
I think I have been this route before.
But, then again I did post this in 2012.
And, I am fed up with all the bloggers ( you know who you are) banging on about their bloody gardens in full bloom. I'll get even with you one day.
Is this a Stellata? We've just planted one of these up the hillside on our old german shepherd's grave. This one is supposed to be hardy which is why we chose it. However, I couldn't resist the one with big pink flowers too which might struggle here. They are both still babies though so won't flower this year. Is that O.K.? - I didn't want to upset you :)
ReplyDeleteI dont think it is a Stellata, we did hve one that had to go when the driveway was widened. This one is 50ft high and 35 years or more old....we bought it as a 'dwarf ' magnolia thinking it would bloom under the kitchen window....it was the flowers that were dwarf. We love it.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will get some blooms...when we visited you I remember that tree being in bloom and how pretty it was.
ReplyDeletelet me know when everyou are in town
DeleteI so thoroughly feel your pain on this subject! We are finally seeing some green here but it's killing me to see that all those other bloggers are a month or so ahead of us!
