Hello all,
Please can somebody help me to identify this shrub.
I think it seems to be a Magnolia but it would be great if somebody could tell me exactly which one.
I have had it for around 15 years now and this is only the second year it has flowered.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Looks like a magnolia to me....couldn't say which one.
Lovely flowers though
yeah cool .....
That's a beauty. I'll keep an eye on this thread as I'd love whatever type it turns out to be.
I really do hope someone can help.
I bought it as as seed from Durham University Botanical Garden a long time ago so i have no memory of what it was.
It has very large green oval shaped leaves that turn pale yellow in late Autumn.

I did do a quick check of the internet as you provided a great pic of the flower but couldn't see anything with a white flower that looked the same .... sorry

Does it flower in spring
Looks like a form of Magnolia Stellata.Possibly a hybrid of some form as the flower has more petals than the standard form.
It looks very similar to a Pink Magnolia Stellata named Jane Platt which is offered for sale by Burncoose Nurseries, so it would possibly be best to contact them, as they hold a National Collection, and they may be able to give you a correct identification.
