I have this shrub / small tree growing in my backyard which is flowering now. Can you please identify this shrub for me? ( photo / image / picture from Tina's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Tina's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Tina's Garden )
A Magnolia is what you have there. I have one exactly the same in my own garden and I think they are beautiful.
Thanks Eileen. I love it too. I took the name Magnolia and looked at the different types. Looks like I have a 'Magnolia X Loebneri Powder Puff'.
What a beauty. And it isn't in the GardenStew Database. If you would go to this page... http://www.gardenstew.com/plantstew/plantsuggest.php and enter the name Magnolia x loebneri 'Powder Puff' I can get it entered and then you can upload your photos to the page. Pretty Please I am not above begging when it comes to getting plants on our database. :-D
Let me get the plant entered first. You will receive a notice that has been done then you can go to the plant page and upload photos. Thanks much
There should a notification in your inbox but in case it's running slow here is the link ... Magnolia x loebneri 'Powder Puff'
SORRY but the plant in the above pics doesn't resemble (in my brain) any Magnolia I've ever seen or imagined More like something completely different... some lonicera? Just suggesting, don't kill me.
Well it very closely resembles my Magnolia x loebneri, but the Leonard Messner one rather than Powder Puff.
