  1. A garden near me has one of these lovely magnolias and I love it when it starts to bloom. It hasn’t got the showiness or the flamboyance of the heady-scented magnolia we are used to, but I like its delicate-looking flowers. If I had a larger garden I would have a magnolia tree and a couple of lilac trees as I love these but alas, my garden is quite small since I down-sized and it’s a constant struggle to find room for what I buy. Today I’m trying to find room to cram in some wallflowers which I shouldn’t have bought!

    • I had my garden converted to high rise beds as I can no longer bend so well. I have a few bushes on the edge, but also have to stop adding to everything otherwise it gets a little overcrowded. I once planted wallflowers from seed and had them for many years.

  2. Yes, not only is it a star magnolia, but it is a ‘White Star’ magnolia, which is less common than those with bigger or blushed flowers. We have one at work, and it is doing surprisingly well after getting relocated during warm summer weather last summer (2018), but they do not get very big here.
