Golden rose

Smells wonderful too.

The Magnolia tree has been stripped of all branches that I can physically do, just need to decide how to get rid of trunk. It has been cut down before and allowed to regrow but come Autumn when the leaves turn dark brown it is a menace. The leaves are no use for anything and they are large and in great quantity. Second reason it shades a very nice flowering area, so decision made and I set to work. The cut off branches will be shredded hopefully later this week.
