Magnolia time

Just over 1 year ago my husband pruned the Magnolia tree in our garden. I didn't think it would survive with such a brutal pruning, however, it did, and the other day I took a couple of photos of it.
Magnolia Rustica Rubra.




The photos below were taken before it was pruned.

  3. Wow, so glad it made it through. I had the petals are safe to eat. Do you know if that is true? I saw a guy eat them as he was photographing them.

  4. The magnolias are lovely and plenty of them here.
    In my garden is a red and pinkish one.
    Mother duck here with her 11 uncontrollable "brats" is at her wits end.
    I now know why the father duck - the drake - sits on the bar at the Terrigal
    hotel drinking himself into oblivion!!
    The whales are still going by but way out - I have seen from a friend photos
    taken with a drone thing of them with their "Calves" on their way to Japan/Korean waters for breeding and then they return to Antarctica on the west coast????
    Must like circumnavigating Australia!!!
    Maybe a sit on the beach but it is not sunny here and the Chinese non-stop
    talking tourists are in full swing. They all talk at once - the bus going down
    is like being in a demented canary or budgerigar cage! Yak yak yak and LOUD!
    Still they enjoy themselves in a funny way, I suppose?????
    I am damn sure that magnolia leaves are NOT for eating.
    Cheers

    1. I am convinced that in Terrigal - the central area of apartments etc.
      have NO kitchens or people can't even boil water.
      The expensive restaurants are packed to the rafters!
      A paradise for money making!!
      The surf is as flat as a pancake and only a few swimmers or are they
      Eskimoes braving the freeze!
