The magnolia tree in my yard is a favorite of mine, as many others are as well. But the leaves on this tree are huge. They are called saucer-sized for a reason. Another great advantage of this tree is it is an evergreen. The tree stays green year round. The blooms are an added bonus nature offers.

Magnolia flower looks to be a beautiful one. The amount of detailing in this photograph added to its beauty.
Thank you, I love the magnolia as well.
What a beautiful flower! And I love the game of shadows and lights on your photo.
Thank you, I love the magnolia as well.
Ahhh! Magnolias, my favorite flowering tree in the whole world. The sages say, that we should own fewer things in life, the fewer things we own or are responsible for, the fewer will be the stresses that accompany them but if I can make one exception, I would love to have and care for a magnolia tree I can just about smell the one in the photo.
Thank you, I love the magnolia as well. The blooms are massive.
Such a gorgeous photo! I love magnolias.
Thank you, I love the magnolia as well.
Wonderful photo. I think magnolia trees are my favourite too, and the blossoms should soon be out here in the UK, fingers crossed.
Good to see you Maggie, appreciate you!
Thanks a lot Carol! I appreciate you too.
Great shot! ? There’s a little yard in front of my window that has a magnolia tree. I can’t wait to see it bloom, though I don’t know what I’ll be able to see from the distance.
The blooms are large, so you should be able to see them. Of course there are different colors, the white ones are easier to see.
Such beauty in nature should always be called perfect.
Thank you, I love the magnolia as well.
Wow, what an amazing character this Magnolia possesses. If you stare too long its as though it moves.
Thanks Bradley, I love this tree. It draws you in!
I planted two magnolia trees right after winter. I felt so dismayed that our ornamental pear, pomegranate trees are decidous and they shed all the leaves. My front yard looked so bare and I don’t like the exposure. So, I planted evergreen trees in the front yard, such as: 12 lucadendrons, 2 pacific blue trees, 3 king protea trees, 1 verbanum evergreen, 1feijoa tree.
My 2 magnolia trees are looking good. Do you fertilize them? How often? What type of mulch and fertilizer? How often do you water? Thank you.
I rarely fertilize them, if I think about it once a year. I never water the tree. Barely any maintenance at all except picking up the blooms when they fall.
I love the Magnolia as a flower, it is beautiful and has fine perfume. Yes, nature is beautiful.
Thank you, i love the magnolia as well.
even in my fantasy art, I try to use nature to ground my work in reality
Good for you Alex. It doesn’t surprise me.
all the best schools of art stress learning from nature
Stunning flower. I admire the neighbor’s Magnolia
Thank you so much, glad you see them.
I know magnolia … it grows with us and it has a beautiful flower
That is great my friend, we agree. 🙂
It’s a great tree that is able to adapt to all weather! The flowers are also very beautiful.
Yes I agree Albert. They are beautiful, thank you.
You are always welcome, Carol.
