Magnolia Yellow Bird

No near-surface freeze in the morning, so wooohoo!

Magnolia 'Yellow Bird' (M. x brooklynensis 'Eva Maria' x M. acuminata var. subcordata) opened its first flower this year:



This is one of the best yellow magnolias (my favourite together with Daphne which will show its flowers in a few days).

Magnolia Summer Solstice flower buds

Magnolia Summer Solstice (I bought it last year) survived our winter (-22 C this year) with no damage and shows three big flower buds.

The weather forecast predicts low temperatures for tomorrow morning, even near-surface freeze, so... Hopefully this will be the last cold spell in this wonderful "Magnolia" year.

Magnolia x brooklynensis "Woodsman"

This is one of my favourite magnolias. First flowered in 1972 for Joe McDaniel and I will put it in our garden tomorrow (should weather allow it). Finally! Even my wife enjoys it.
