Wish I'd seen this post before we met on Saturday, RBell... we have another plant in common and on Saturday morning I was outside paying homage to my banana shrub, too. <br /><br />Your Michelia/Magnolia figo is so tall! Mine has grown well and is also in flower, but it lost a lot of foliage & some small branches from that February cold spell. <br /><br />Stop & smile for sure!<br /><br />Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.com
