Young Magnolia Elizabeth


Young Magnolia Elizabeth

Wikipedia:
Magnolia 'Elizabeth' is a hybrid Magnolia that is the offspring of a cross between Magnolia acuminata and Magnolia denudata. It is the result of a breeding program to create yellow-flowered varieties conducted at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden beginning in 1953.

It has grown rapidly and I hope that will bush-up in time. Flowers are gorgeous, especially in the sunshine. My camera can never capture that beauty.

It is a lovely shape. Is the purple flowering shrub next to it a rhododendron, Klahanie? It’s a beautiful colour...

Yes, a rhododendron Kate. Planted it with the idea that yellow and blue will look good together but some years they do not bloom at the same time. Go figure.
The tree on the other side of the rhododendron is a magnolia Stellata now in full leaf.

Thanks, Klahanie. A lovely collection of planting, all together... even the background greenery/trees lend to the picture.
