My Special Needs Magnolia



My magnolia tree is confused.

I think it's because I moved it three times at my last place, trying to find a location where it would be happy and trust me on this, it wasn't happy.

It was still sulking when I carefully dug it up and moved it to my present home.

I placed it so carefully and made sure the soil was just right but still, it doesn't quite have the hang of blooming in the spring so here it is, a late bloomer.

I thought about relegating it to the compost pile but that tree and I have been through a lot together so we'll just soldier on, apparently out of sync with the rest of nature.
