Magnolia: 1 image.
A Magnolia bud from my garden in Bangalore, taken yesterday. Sadly the bud fell off soon after, before blooming. This is the third time it has happened.
Can any of the members advise on how to prevent this.


Looks more like Talauma mutabilis but I am not sure how to prevent the premature bud fall


Spray planofix (2ml in one litre of water) at the beginning of flowering i.e. initiation of buds once a week to prevent fall of buds. This is available in agro-chemicals shop.


thank you … will be useful for all those that have plnats in gardens, balcony, rooftop terrace… etc

 I am sending herewith the photographs of Magnolia species (M. grandiflora ?) for confirmation.
Photos taken in a park in Mysore on 6.11.2011.

Not Magnolia grandiflora at least


Magnolia liliifera (L.) Baill. is the current name. syn Talauma mutabilis. This is a shrub with much smaller flowers than M. grandiflora. The leaves are not coriaceous and golden brown beneath.


Yes …, now Magnolia liliifera.


Egg Magnolia is a medium size tree with large velvet leaves and fragrant yellowish off-white flowers about 4-5″ wide.
It is found in North-East India – Assam, Manipur, Sikkim.
Before opening, buds have an egg shape, hence the common name.
One of the most valuable ornamental fragrant trees of Asia.
A highly valued fragrant flower of this small tree or shrub resembles Dwarf Magnolia flower, but the scent is much stronger. Leaves are large, 7-9 inches long and 4 inches wide.
Can be grown in container in a well-lit spot.
Egg Magnolia is similar to Dwarf Magnolia, as both species have those egg shaped flowerbuds, but Dwarf Magnolia flowers are white.

Magnolia id please: 3 images.
Shot in Neighbours’ garden, Bangalore
id help appreciated


Magnolia grandiflora


Not Magnolia grandiflora please
Should be Talauma mutabilis


I had not come across the name Talauma mutabilis before.
Cannot keep up with all the name changes!
It might be better known under the old name Magnolia lilifera var lilifera.
http://www.google.co.uk/search


Looks similar to Magnolia coco,
I’ll await input from others though.

Better than that…
I need to see the open flower and preferably the fruit pod shape…. there is a bewildering number of hybrids…


It does not open completely mam. This is a very short lived flower..the petals fall off the very next day..


then its not a magnolia grandiflora
ps… take pictures of what remains after the petals fall off and do a follow up … watch the tree…to see what develops…


it may be?? Egg Magnolia (Talauma candollei)
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/165898/


cant tell!
need to see the tree, leaves, bark, habit, and most essentially the seedpod…
i dont want to play a guessing game…. wont be accurate….
people who specialize in magnolias and their hybridization and take it very seriously would laugh at us …. because we would be very far from the base…
just like a gland made up of malignant cells is an adeno…
but of what organ of orirgin??? … cant be forecast with any accuracy… quite the same with just the small flower portrait, it does not lend itself to a firm diagnosis…


This is Magnolia liliifera (L.) Baill.
