Lois Bryan
Hunh!!!! Now … not that I know anything about ANYthing, but this doesn’t look like the magnolias I’m familiar with. The magnolia is famous for it’s strong green leaves .. very thick and glossy … even our sweet bay … I’ll snap a shot of the whole trees to let you see. What you have here looks more like the traditional cherry or apple … and the leaves are still forming. But baby, whatever the heck it is, it’s GORGEOUS!!!!!! I love this one!!!!!
SandyK replied
Thanks Lois, you don’t need to take a pic ( well unless you want to) but I know what yours looks like, I wanted one for my yard and we didn’t have room for one. I love those trees, that’s why I was surprised when this was identified as a magnolia. Well now I’m totally confused, I google images magnolia and got pictures of this. There must be two different varieties. We need a tree expert and I think I know one:) I’ll see what she knows.
Lois Bryan
Well, if google says so, then who am I to argue, lol!!!! Seriously … I’m sure there are oooodles and ooodles of varieties!!! All I know is your image is yummy and the blossoms really don’t look like any of the cherry / apple / whatever that I’m familiar with so … magnolia it is!!!!
SandyK replied
Thanks very much Lois, my tree expert says they are both magnolias, just different varieties:) I know you were losing sleep over this one:)
rodsfotos
Yes, definitely a magnolia and a very beautiful one as well, beautifully captured,
Regards, Rod.
SandyK replied
Thanks so much Rod!
Lois Bryan
LOL!!! if you ever find out which variety, let me know … next time something here goes toes up, maybe I’ll talk DH into planting one of these!!!!! (one of our dogwoods is gasping as I speak, lol)
