Daisy Diva
M. soulangeana, M. sprengeri], cv. (Magnolia 35(2) [Issue 68]: 15, 2000).
‘This upright tree [19 ½ feet (6m)
tall in 14 years] flowers mid-season with flowers all along the branches.
The flowers are white with a basal stain of purple, fading toward the tips
of the tepals. The flowers have 12-14 tepals, each reflexing on maturity to
a “daisy.” The flowers are 9 ½ to 11 ½ inches (25-30
cm) across; the tepals resemble a white M. sprengeri ‘Diva,’ and
the leaves also resemble ‘Diva.’ ‘Daisy Diva’ does
not appear to root easily. Originated as seed from the Magnolia Society seed
counter. Selected in 1986 and registered in 1999 by Dr. M. L. A. Robinson,
England.’

darkest rose... vegetatively propagated from the original tree in Darjeeling
Botanic Garden, India.’ See also cv. Betty Jessel which until 1972 was
cultivated under this name. Cv. Darjeeling is the seed parent
of Betty Jessel. Has been confused with cv. Betty Jessel.

its intensity, and lightening slightly at the tip. In early to mid-season,
the chalice-shaped flowers open to 4 to 5 inches across to reveal ivory white
interiors which contrast dramatically with the exterior's rich red. The central
boss of stamens in dark burgundy completes the sensational, bicolor visual
impact. A rapid grower and very young bloomer, ‘Dark Shadow’ matures
to a compact oval 25 to 30-foot tree, fully branched to the ground and typically
having two terminal buds.’

David
M. officinalis], cv. (Magnolia 33(1)
[Issue 63]: 28, 1998). ‘(M. officinalis, possibly a hybrid with M. tripetala)
— This selection named by Polly Hill arose from seed she acquired from
the 1981 TMS seed exchange. The seeds were from M. officinalis ‘Biloba’
and were donated by Philip Seitner. The flowers are cream colored, taller
and more crinkled than typical officinalis and have a pleasant fragrance.
The leaves are not bilobed. Suspected hybrid between officinalis and tripetala.
To date no fruit has been seen. Hardy to about 0°F. Named in honor of
Dr. David Smith, the originator and benefactor of the Polly Hill Arboretum,
Inc. Named and registered by Polly Hill in August 1997.’
David Clulow
M. x soulangeana, M. x veitchii], cv.
(Magnolias and their allies, p. 226, 1998). ‘The Gresham Hybrids…have
produced outstanding cultivars, which should be in all our gardens. Among
the white Greshams…the following stand out: ‘Tina Durio,’
‘Manchu Fan,’ and ‘David Clulow’ (previously in cultivation
as LA20) Their only drawback is that the M. campbellii “grandfather”
has induced such vigour that branches may be torn away by summer storms; these
need pruning. But the gorgeous “cup-and-saucer” flowers of ‘David
Clulow’ are probably the closest one can get to M. campbellii in this
country [Belgium].’ M. x veitchii x M. x soulangeana cv Lennei Alba.
Dawn
