{Our Fragrant Magnolia Grandiflora}

Our huge Fragrant Magnolia Grandiflora 'Namnetensis Flore Pleno' (see link with more info below post) is still blooming and will so through July. Just want to show you some photos that were taken the day before we went on our cruise to the Bahamas. They look so gorgeous each year and this tree has been very rewarding over the years. It is almost 20 years ago that we've planted it and it has grown fast. Of course, a subtropical type of climate does help all along but still we are amazed at the wonders of nature. Despite the tropical heat we get here during the summer months of July and August. Enjoy the photos and if anyone does have this variety, let me know as we would love to hear how yours is doing.
After some rain, either natural or from the sprinklers, they look so stunningly beautiful.

Look for more info below this post in the link about it.
The pollen provides a 'Bee Happy Magnolia Restaurant', see link below...
This beauty is in the front of our home, alongside the driveway and we can view it from our bedroom...
Southern Charm at its best.
Young green leaves and always new buds. Even now they still show up.
Hope you enjoyed them and thanks for your visit.
A special welcome to all my new readers as well!

    PRACHTIG...... hier bloeit hij ook!!
    Ik vind dit zulke mooie bloemen, en ze zijn nog mooier dan op de foto, want ik vind altijd dat je op een foto niet weer kan geven wat je werkelijk ziet.
    Gelukkig heeft de boom hier na die min 20 van afgelopen winter geen schade opgelopen, alleen zitten er minder bloemen aan dan anders, de knoppen zullen wel bevroren geweest zijn.

    Zal er dadelijk ook eens een foto van maken.

    Prachtig Mariëtte. Wij hebben een kleine tuin maar als die groter was, kwam deze er zeker in.
    Fijne dag, lieve groet

    Dearest Mariette,
    Oh, the glory of nature. The magnolia has to be the star in the crown of nature. You have such a lovely specimen.

    Liebe Mariette,
    das strahlende reine Weiß dieser Blüten ist unerreicht. Schade, dass man den Duft nicht durch den Computer riechen kann. Es ist sicher ein besonderes Erlebnis.
    Schöne Grüße
