{Magnolia Stages}

Our two HUGE Magnolia Grandiflora the trees go through different stages. Husband Pieter did make this photo series on June 13, to show you more about it.
Here you see a fully opened up flower from the Fragrant Magnolia Grandiflora 'Namnetensis Flore Pleno' and Pieter did place the US $ 0.01 for comparison.
This one is still budding in October ...
Yes, we are going backward, this is still more closed.
And this is a totally closed up bud.
Bud Developing ...
This is the beginning of a new leaf!
Funny with an old leaf still attached around the new budding leaf ...
Beautiful photo showing a budding October leaf and the seed pod, after the bloom has blossomed.
From the beginning of our driveway ... This Fragrant Magnolia Grandiflora 'Namnetensis Flore Pleno' is HUGE. We planted it in January 1996 together with the Quercus virginiana Grand View Gold, you see to the right. Both are our most expensive trees on the property!
Here the Grand View Gold, life oak tree to the left looks more striking.
ALSO we did detect several pesky  Saw Greenbrier, Catbrier, Bullbrier  que had clinic Their Way up ... Of course, They got cut off!
This is from the driveway near the house, showing Also part of our Windmill Palm.
Walking now across the entire property, a photo taken from the neighbor's side, showing our other Magnolia Grandiflora Virginiana.
That one is HUGE as well and is sitting on the lawn ...
From a different angle, with the huge Also, trimmed up oak tree next to it.
Also do you have such a giant Magnolia tree in your yard?

  3. My dear friend. It has been too too long since I have been here. I have many many GrandiFlora magnolias here where I live. They are everywhere. I cannot wait to go out in the beginning of their blooming season and take their pictures. I do it every year. When I have posted the pictures I always say they are as large as a salad plate when fully opened.

    Wonderful blog and great beauty you have shared. Thank you.

  6. That is one grand magnolia tree for sure. Wow! Magnolias are my state flower. :) I used to have a faux magnolia made from wire and white balloons. It was so pretty but unfortunately the climate here just made it dirty and it couldn't be cleaned so I had to get rid of it. Best wishes, Tammy

  9. Lieve Mariette ik geniet wel van de GROTE magnolia bomen op foto in jou tuin.
    Daar ik het met klein postzegeltuintje moet doen zullen er nooit bomen geplant worden die heel groot worden.
    Maar ik geniet elke dag opnieuw van alles wat er in mijn tuintje staat en ben een tevreden en gelukkig mens met als enige boom een appelboom waar dit jaar veel appels aanhangen.

    Mooi zoals jij de fase van knop naar bloem laat zien.

    Fijne dagen en lieve groet,Ger

  11. WOW, liebe Mariette, was für ein Prachtbaum und die Blüte ist riesengroß - wundervoll!
    Nein, wir haben gar keine Magnolie in unserem Garten, er wäre einfach zu klein dafür, deshalb genieße ich Deine tollen Fotos ;-)))
    Wir kommen hier im Nordwesten Deutschlands um vor Hitze, es ist jetzt schon fast 40 Grad heiß... puhhhh

    Ich schicke Dir sonnige Grüße aus dem Garten

  20. Such beautiful magnolia blossom! I can see how huge with the coin on it! Love the series of photos going backwards:-) It looks beautiful in the process of opening flowers as well. And the tree is seriously huge! It's really like it's "sitting" on the lawn :-)
    Have a happy holiday weekend, Mariette!

  21. Das ist ja eine besonders schöne Magnolie, liebe Mariette. Wir haben nur kleine Magnolien. Meine weiße Sternmagnolie ist eine Neuanschaffung und noch sehr klein.
    Auch interessant, Euer Haus einmal aus einer anderen Perspektive. Ein wirklich schönes großes Grundstück! So etwas gibt es hier nur selten. Der Waldgarten hatte jedoch über 2.000 qm.

    Liebe Grüße
    Sara
