Beyond the magnificent magnolia

Magnolia lovers often visit the upper botanic garden in spring to see the large Magnolia campbellii flowering in the azalea garden. It starts as early as mid to late August.

Breathtaking as that one can be, there are several other species and varieties flowering in the Rhododendron Dell that are well worth visiting. Most of these are smaller varieties or much younger and have yet to gain the same stature but all reward the eye with a rich succession of flowering right through to January.

One of the most stunning is 'Caerhay's Belle', which is one of many magnolias that were planted in the Rhododendron Dell about 20 years ago and have now reached semi-maturity.

A quick walk through the azalea garden and down the cherry walk takes you straight to it. The tree is about 8m high, with the top half a loosely structured dome of full-bodied, two-tone, pink blooms. Each flower is the size of a small football and has 12 broad spoon-shaped tepals.
