For All The Big Hearted People, Who Would Like A Big Bloom To Match. Story Within.
Behold, A Giant Of Giants!!! 30 Centimetres In Diameter and Absolutely Beautiful Magnolia.
Well it has been some time since last uploading a flower, thought I would
upload one from my Daughters property.
This magnificent giant bloom is something worth seeing
It is the Southern Magnolia (Magnolia Grandiflora)
Grows to an unbelievable heights, it is a handsome evergreen tree that will grow
up to 24 metres tall and 20 metres wide.
The flowers are creamy white and between (20 to 30 cm in diameter), they have
a wonderful fragrance.
It blooms in May to June, whilst other cultivars bloom in summer.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend?
Walkabout John.

Your flower is a real beauty. She looks like a queen.The flower is really immaculate. Excellent work.
Today we made a bicycle tour of 3,5 hours.
It was very windy, but the sun shone.
We have now a beautiful muscular strain and are glad that we can sit on the couch.
Many greetings from
Doris
