Magnolia 'Iolanthe' flower bud

Can't wait for the flowers to arrive on this beauty. From the catalogue "very large bowl shaped rose-pink blooms with a creamy white interior". They are just gorgeous.
They are worth waithing for, i bought one for my Mum for her birthday a few years back..

@ssimon Thanks Stephen. We have them for sale at the nursery, and they are all covered in buds. Took quite a few photos and battled to decide which one to use!

@nana2r Definitely will Carren. They are one of my favourite deciduous magnolias.

Lovely capture, the bud looks like it's covered in silky fur ! I would love to see the flowers when it blooms :)

@cazann Thanks Caz. I'll tag you along with Carren when I get a shot. Reading up on them, it seems they bloom 'mid-spring', so looks like those buds sit all through winter. I'm planting one in my garden next month.
