You can never have enough...

[Olive]

Here you go   Can't wait to see it out fully.  Once the cabbage tree has been removed, I'm tempted to plant another magnolia in a different colour to replace it.  Further out from the fence though which means enlarging the garden...

Your yellow magnolia is way more advanced than ours, which is nowhere near flowering.   It was planted last year and is covered in buds, but as they grow I think they are all leaf buds.  Can't remember its exact name - Honey something.   At least it wasn't knocked back by the frosts, which severely burnt the Cameo and Starwars.

Our best Magnolia is Denudata "Gere", a late blooming hybrid.   It is presently covered in elegant ivory flowers and buds, and because it blooms slightly later it escapes the late frosts.
