My magnolias certainly don't produce flowers as big as yours Susie. I can just imagine the scent of those magnificent flowers wafting all around your garden.
oh my gawd! who did you bury under them for fertilizer? it's like they're on steroids! beautiful! do you have a picture of the tree? is it a large tree?
