Magnolia

It's a sure sign that Spring is in the air once Magnolias appear in the garden centres. This particular Magnolia "Susan" planted today in mum's front garden was something we have wanted to do for a year or so now. The front lawn has remained largely unaltered since the house was built 50 years ago. In our childhood days the garden was used to play many games mostly sporty and the divots that were left during these times would earn us endless tellings off from dad. In his own wonderful way I am sure he would no doubt give us a ticking off for planting a Magnolia smack bang in the middle of the lawn today. However the work that we continue to put into the garden would also make him proud of that there is no doubt. The Magnolia will soon grow and blossom into a central feature piece, and mum will be able to look onto the front garden and enjoy this wonderful plant.
