Magnolia Update
Image By RnBoW
A fellow gardening neighbor gave me this Magnolia back in April & she has doubled in size since I transplanted her into this wooden tub 3 & 1/2 months ago!
They are slow growers and she won't be a sizable tree or bloom for many years to come but for me a Southern garden is just not complete without one!

I so admire and yes, if truth be told, envy you and everyone else who can grow things. I, personally, have never met a plant I couldn't kill. I try. I talk to them, I give them water, do soil test, mist and fertilize all to no avail. Good luck with your little tree. May she grow tall and prosper (or whatever).
She's one lucky little plant to end up in your garden!

Pretty healthy looking Magnolia you have there!
Pfft, wish my neighbors were more giving with their plants. They're just being neglected on their front lawns.
My neighbor has one and my grandmother had one too. I love them and their smell. Mmmmm
She's really liking her new home!
Wow what a beautiful little plant. I have some 3 lace leaf maple that I had in pots. Two of them have made it now I put them in the ground. One died too dry this Summer and too many changes in weather. Judi
^_^ it's amazing what new soil can do.
cool ... thought about planting one in my back yard.
looks very healthy.
What a lovely plant, it will be well worth the wait when it finally does bloom. I have not planted many flowers or shrubs, but i do have a veggie garden that i am proud of.
One of the things I miss about living in Virginia is the smell of Magnolia in the morning.....It was always comfort to me
That is goign to be a beautiful tree.
What a healthy, green and beautiful Magnolia tree~
!!! All good things to a gardener are worth waiting for, yes. I don't know what tree is essential for a Northern Gardener. A Maple to turn lovely colours in the Autumn, perhaps. I know we do love our Orchards, so Apples are a good choice. Lilacs are plentiful in Spring, and for the adventurous, a Mock Orange.
My new neighbour gave me a good bunch of Phlox. They are just hinting to bloom now. Things were late with a cold spring, but the uncharacteristic cool nights we have been having are great for extended blooms in almost everything.
Blessings~
Its beautiful green and erect.Magnolia seems to be growing well in this wooden tub. Nice choice of using wooden tub for it.
I do love magnolias, but they flower so early and are finished so quickly (here anyway) .
