Easter was earlier last year and spring later, so was able to get some photos of magnolias. This year they have all finished, but instead the Punch Bowl was in full colour (normally a spectacle of mid May). So have created a flickr set with my photographs.
The colour scheme is definitely a male thing, but in such scale even the most resolute 'pastel and white lady' cannot help admire?
The Kurume azaleas have interesting names such as 'Kure no Yuki' meaning snowflake or literally translated as 'white, hose in hose' number 2 in Wilson's fifty.
I must rummage out and digitalise some older photos, to show how the area has changed over the years.

Superb display, must say the brilliant colours are set off nicely by the pastel pinks and whites
(Not one for pastels myself actually.)

Well I was struggling to find some spin; on reflection I think the gender is fairly homogenous. Pink is a feminine colour but the boldness of the planting is definitely male?

Together with massed planting of a single type of plant - you may be right!
