Magnolia x brooklynensis 'Yellow Bird'

Small flowers this year and very few of them. Even one is ok by me 😛 #magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

#greatname

I had to cut mine down. Two years with no flowers so that's it, gone. Yours is lovely 💛💛💛💛

Lovely yellow beauties 💛

💛💛💛

@johnnyuk @emch @hkyfvr @pelly thank you all ☺️ it’s not a flashy magnolia but can’t beat the colour 💛

@midnightgardener oh Chris 😓 not much point keeping it if it’s not performing though. Will you try another?

Always welcome. 💛

@kez001uk I doubt it. I gave it a good chance and decided to get rid of it. Some plants/shrubs don't work ♥️♥️

@midnightgardener you’re so right! And it’s usually a plant you really want to work 🙄😂

Ended up with a few late flowers, untouched by frost 💛 #magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

Yay 🎉 worth the wait 💛💛💛

Lovely yellow 💛💛

@pelly @hkyfvr thank you ladies 😀 the flowers get a little lost now the leaves are out but seems they protected the buds well enough to get a few unblemished blooms 💛

Always welcome Kerry. Glad you got your blooms. 💛💛

Not perfect but I have some flowers 💛 #magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

I've never seen a yellow magnolia, love it 💛

Isn’t that lovely 💛💛💛

Such a pretty yellow. Love this colour for a magnolia. 💛💛

I've only seen a few of them. It is beautiful. I wonder why not a lot of people grow it 🤔

It's looking good again 💛💛💛

@anges @pelly @hkyfvr @hkyfvr @KOutdoors @alan1111 @jeatacake thank you all 😃 most flowers were badly frost damaged but a low branch has a few that made it 😁 the yellow is a nice change from the pinks & whites you typically see 💛

Most welcome Kerry. It is a lovely change 💛

So badly damaged from frost this year. All I got was these few flowers 😞 #magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

Still pretty though and such an unusual colour 💛💛💛

Same with my camellias. All the flowers have brown edges where they got caught by late frost.

It’s not fair is it...🙁💛

Such a shame 😔

Still looks great 🐥💛

@pelly thanks Jane ☺️ looked so lovely last year too 😞

@ublaszko it’s been so destructive 😢 gonna fleece my whole garden next year 😆

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom heartbreaking cos you don’t know the damage until it’s too late

@italydiva it really is. And so long to wait for the next flowers 😩

@jeatacake it’s the scrabble cousin to your perfect flowers 💛

@ukjohnny disappointing isn’t it 🙁 did any open properly for you?

Is this a seed pod? #magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

Morning! Nice bright sunshine yellow this morning ☀️ 💅

I love it! 💛💛💛

I found this https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/magnolia/propagating-magnolia-seeds.htm 👍

I've only ever seen them in America, but it does look like the early stages of seeds 👍

@cyndi woooooo! Hopefully I can get some seed 😁🤞🏻

@italydiva was trying to match the supposed sunny week ahead. Should have worn grey! ☁️😂

@ublaszko just not in flower form 😉😉

@pelly thank you Jane 😛 reading that it sounds like a whole lot of faff only to wait 10-15 years to see what you end up with 😂

@jeatacake they look quite fascinating when the seeds ripen 🤩 hopefully the pigeons will leave it alone long enough to see for myself 😆

😂😂😂

Something new for them! 😄

#magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

That’s gorgeous 💛💛💛

Beautiful 💛💛💛

Wow 🤩💛

Oh wow 🤩💛💛💛

Fabulous 💛💛💛

That's fabulous 💛💛💛

@suerichards thank you Sue 😊

@cyndi thanks Cyndi ☺️ sadly no scent at all 😞

@lovemygarden65 thanks Marilyn 😁

@lexijane thank you Lexi 😄

@juliesgarden thank you Julie 😃

#magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

That's lovely 😊😊💛💛

Wow, still going strong 💛💛

The flower resembles a tulip in the photo

@midnightgardener thanks Christine 😀 I can now see why everyone loves magnolias so much 💛

@jeatacake and more buds opening 😁 lost 3 flowers to the pigeon but this one is opening up nicely now

@alan1111 it does 😋 like a little goblet 😛

Fantastic. Just keep those pigeons away! 🧹

@jeatacake I sometimes dream about being able to put a net over my whole garden 🤣

I know what you mean. My cherry tree springs to mind! 🍒🦅

@jeatacake 😂 the cherry crop-dusting won’t be far off 😜

#magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

Looks great & a few more flowers too 💛

Lovely 💛

Beautiful

I really love that colour....💛

Another beauty you got there Kerry

@jeatacake thank you Jeff 😀 one less flower now, thanks to a beefy pigeon trying to sit in it 😢

@sieveheadsarah thanks Sarah 😃

@Sesiltamen thank you Silvio 😄

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom it’s a beautiful lemon colour, just wish the flowers opened more 🙄

@alan1111 thanks Alan 😁

Oh no! Not one of those fatty wood pigeons? They're a bit haphazard at the best if times 😒

Nearly... #magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

Great colour for a change...💛

Love this variety!

🌹🌹🌹

💛💛💛

Ooooh yellow bird is lovely 😊😊💛💛💛

I love it! 😍😍😍

Tantalising 💛

It's not often I get to see a yellow one, nice!

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😀

@bobfelton it’s the first flower and I must say I love it too 😛

@Sesiltamen thank you Silvio 😀

💛 #magnolia #magnolia-brookylynensis #magnolia-yellowbird

Looking forward to seeing this one open up 🐥

Magnolia flowers are gorgeous whatever colour they are 😉😉

I keep hanging my nose over this one 💛💛💛

Total Rookie here....never knew they had other colors ! This will be pretty 😍

@jeatacake me too. Was so disappointed when the buds started opening and they were leaves. Wasn’t until I read about this one and the leaves come at the same time as the flowers 😂 so might have 3 on the way 🤞🏻

@ublaszko even yellow??? 😮

@pelly hopefully I’ll have some flower photos soon to nudge you into getting one 😉

@sherrisgarden think most are white and pink but I even saw a blue one online a few weeks back 🤤🤤🤤

Are you serious ?? A blue one ?? 😍😍

@sherrisgarden from reading about it it sounds a pain to grow but it’s stunning! https://www.burncoose.co.uk/site/plants.cfm?pl_id=4800

You're right ! It is stunning.😍😍. I'm always learning something new on this app. 😀😀

Cataloging

This is a lovely one, a nice change from the pink 💛💛

@pelly I’m hoping these survive. Bought 3 last year and the beast from the east killed them both 😔 these are in better starting condition though so hopefully will get to see my first ever magnolia flowers soon 😁

I hope you do 👍👍
