Magnolia liliflora 'Betty'
I planted this magnolia the first time 4 or 5 years ago and then moved it 3 years ago. Until this year she has not bloomed for me. I am just thrilled to see the magnificent bloom on this wee shrub as she is still not very tall. At maturity it should be 8ft tall with an equal spread. That may be a while for this little girl. Mary at DearLittleRedHouse is again hosting Mosiac Monday. I hope that you will join us. We love to show off what makes us happy. Happy Gardening Week.

How wonderful that your efforts paid off and it's bloomed again. Gorgeous!
I have always admired Magnolia trees but have never had one. Didn't realize they come in bush size. The ones I have seen are very tall trees. The flowers make a lovely mosaic!
I do the same thing - am always moving things around in the garden! You must have been thrilled to get your first bloom!
