The magnolia is fantastic, sparse or not.

Are you worried that the deer will like your new shrub?

Beautiful pinks! I really like your magnolia bloom as well. Does it have a fragrance?

jane marie, thanks for the comment. it's a great magnolia, and it stays small (10-15') so can fit most anywhere.

sis, thanks for the comment. the deer don't eat the pieris here.

nancy, i'm going to have to take the time to look around more! my daybreak has many buds for the 1st time, and i'm excited about that one. thanks.

chey, wait until ruby blooms! it has the darkest pink (almost red) flower that will survive here. leonard messell does not have a fragrance. thanks for the comment.
