I went out to the Magnolia section today and took a look at
all the flowering magnolias. It's been a
weird year, with extreme variances in temperature in the late part of the
summer and early fall. We’ve had several dozen trees flowering in October. When
an early bloom like this happens it can sometimes sap the food reserves the
magnolias trunk and roots that it stores in fall for its bloom period in
January. So I was very surprised to see great majority of the magnolias
sporting a high density of flower buds.
Also, usually by this time of year most of our magnolias are
blooming. Although there are a few Magnolias with some very small blooms, it
seems like all of the magnolias are in bud and synced for what might be a
spectacular bloom within the next several weeks.
I took picture of one of the magnolias, and as you can see
it has a very high density a flower buds. Stay tuned - this should be a
magnificent flowering season for the magnolias.
