Magnolia buds

Magnolia buds on the 31st march, Rhoslefain 

This tree is growing just outside the front door of the house and was a birthday present from Naughty Morty to me a few years back. What i love about this apart from its flowers is the fact for the last two or three years it has flowered first exactly on my birthday, at the end of march, which does make it the perfect present for me, except.. not this year, as with the daffs, definitely later this year, - so make sure you come back to the chickenshack blog soon to catch the next installment of this gripping natural drama!
