Whooooaaaaa is the sound I made when I arrived home to this 😅😍

I'm not surprised! 😀😍

Beautiful 😍

Beautiful

A 2nd bud😍 Do I snip off the dead bud guys? @flof1952 @pelly @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

I dont know if its the right advice denise but mine fell off a couple of days after flowering, and is now in leaf. Ive one more bud to open aswell

Think maybe I'll leave it, this is the one plant I'm very cautious with I think 🤔 @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

Mine was the same as Dave’s and tbh I don’t know the answer, sorry Denise.

I left my flowers alone Denise ....the petals fell just off anyway. My last bud is almost open too 👍🏻🙂

I'll leave it be😉 @pelly @flof1952

Afternoon GT😍☀️ At last my magnolia has opened, so happy as I thought it peeked too early last year. I got there Pauline, Jane 😃 it's just the one flower on one plant. The other plant has a small bud so who knows🤞 @flof1952 @pelly #easter #white #magnolia-redlucky

So perfect too! 👌🏼

Beautiful 💚

It’s beautiful Denise, we got home today from a short break and mine was open too, I was over the moon 😍😍

Beautiful Denise ...so pleased for you 👏👏😎

Thanks all, isn't it amazing watching and waiting for these little beauties 😍 So happy to share them somewhere too 🌸🌹🌺🌻 @rachelbrooks @awomanonabike @pelly @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co @flof1952 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

That’s what we’re all here for Denise! It’s why we all love GardenTags. People here are much more interested and complimentary than my family 😉😂

Same here, I try not to bore them anymore 😂 @awomanonabike

😂 I still try... 😉😂

😂👍 @awomanonabike

#anticipation 1of 3 first time buds 🤗🌸 #magnolia-redlucky

Is this the one you bought at the same time as me? 🤔🤔

I bought one too Jane @pelly ....it wouldn't be flowering now though surely?!

I wouldn’t have thought so. Mine is putting on a lot of leaf growth though Pauline @flof1952 👍👍

Mine too Jane and looks so healthy @pelly 👍🍃

Morning Denise , lovely 💝

Yes Jane & Pauline! I can't believe it. I bought 2 for £10, it was at the same time, remember Dave sent me the link. This one has 3 of these flower buds, I'm gobsmacked in a good way 🌸🌸🌸 @pelly @flof1952

Hiya Julie, thanks🤗 @juliesgarden

Oh my word Denise ....I'm totally amazed. How wonderful 😲

Me too Pauline! @flof1952

That's amazing Denise, wow 🌸🌸

These buds opened up to...empty buds then wilted 😢, I think they peeked way too soon @flof1952

Well I'm absolutely chuffed to find the first 2 flower buds, wasn't expecting any until at least next year! #magnolia-redlucky

My friends had lots of flowers on hers, very strange @Denise16

I was walking past it and saw the pink out of the corner of my eye, thought I was seeing things!🤗 @brighton

#itsalive @pelly @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co I hope yours is also alive? #magnolia-redlucky

I bought the same one but mine doesn’t look like that. I scratched the bark off and it’s green underneath so it’s alive.

Oh that's good, I got 2 and it's not until I moved them to full sun that they started to look lively 🌿 @Tracyhl

Yep, mine’s alive but still only a few little buds at the moment, yours is looking great Denise 💚💚

I just get far to distressed to even look at mine. #nosignsoflifeatall 😭😭😭

Patience Dave, patience @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co 👍👍

Great Jane, hopefully not too long now @pelly

Oh no so a bit more patience Dave, is there any green in the stem? If they turn out to be no good they would probably send you replacements. @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

Its still green when you scratch a bit of bark off, so ill be a bit more patient. Hopefully theyll come good denise.

One of the buds looks like it shouldn’t be too long now Denise 💚💚

Cataloguing been meaning to get one for ages & now I have two 🤗 Thanks so much for the info @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co #magnolia-redlucky

Snap Denise but I only bought one 😊

A few of us have Pauline, it'll be lovely to see their progress🤗 @flof1952

Me too Pauline @flof1952 👍👍
