Memory'), spreading somewhat with age. The leaves are intermediate between
the two parents. The flowers are large, somewhat floppy, with a pleasant fragrance.
The 9 tepals are about 5 in. long by 2 in. wide; the color is orange/red (RHS
35C to RHS 26C) on the outer surface and creamy white (RHS 20D) on the inner
surface, giving the appearance of a mottled peach. Figlar reports that it
blooms in his garden in early May, about the same time as M. fraseri. The
original tree is 25 feet tall in 15 years with a trunk diameter of over 12

Purple Breeze 
[M. sargentiana, unknown] cv. (Magnolia 35(2) [Issue 68]: 17-18, 2000). ‘This
selection…grew to 23 feet (7m) in 16 years; very early flowering–before
M. sprengeri ‘Diva’ and ‘Charles Raffill,’ at the
same time as ‘Leda.’ Massive flowering with purple tone on unopened
flowers in the shade. Not very reminiscent of M. sargentiana ‘Robusta’
— more M. sprengeri-like. Using the RHS Color chart, the flower is Purple
75a outside on a closed flower in the shade, with light purple (75B to 75D)
inside from edge to center; colors are lighter in sun and on opening. Each
flower has 12 to 13 tepals 4 ½ inches x 2 inches (12cm x 5cm)apparently
small as measured in 2000, and are thin and floppy on opening. The flowers
are scented (like M. sprengeri ‘Diva’), and have an elongated
Gynoecium [1.8 inches (45mm)] with a narrow ring (unopened androecium) of
long, purple stamens [0.98 inches (25mm)]. Unopened flower buds are held perfectly
in the axis of the shoot be it vertical or horizontal (no angle to the shoot).
Outstanding cut flower when brought inside; good parent of several crosses
at Herkenrode (that is, fertile). The plant was purchased in 1984 from Esveld,
as Magnolia sargentiana var. robusta. It has been in this location since 1986,
on good loamy soil in the arboretum. In 1985 it withstood a minimum of –2°F
(-19°C), and in 1987 a long winter and minimum of –1°F (-17°C).
It has also withstood many late spring frosts without damage to its stem or
wood. It is one of the first magnolias to flower every year and flowered in
2000 (a very early season), from 12 to 30 March. Its flowers are quite resistant
to morning frosts. Registered in April, 2000.’
