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.

That time of year and the Magnolias are out in full force.  This one is at home.

Below is Margaret Davis Camellia which is growing up the side of our house.
