This small but lovely magnolia tree didn’t flower at all last year and the year before that it had two flowers which got eaten by something before they opened out. This year there are several flowers. They’re not as dark as the name suggests.
@gardencat The buds are much darker before they open out and I think that because these flowers are in bright sunshine the photo shows them to be a bit lighter than they really are. They are lovely though aren’t they.
