Magnolia ‘Butterflies’
Magnolias are always beautiful additions to a landscape, and the flowers of Butterflies Magnolia have an especially luscious yellow colour. The mature flowers also have a lemony scent. This variety is a cross between a native and an Asian Magnolia, and can grow to be a small tree with a central leader, or a multi-stemmed shrub. This tree can grow 5 to 10 metres in height. The tree is located about 50 metres NW of an intersection between paths leading from Dow’s Lake to the Arboretum.
Celebrating Idris Timothy Cheron
Dedicated to our son, Idris, who is forever in our hearts.
“In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night.”
« Quand tu regarderas le ciel, la nuit, puisque j’habiterai dans l’une d’elles, puisque je rirai dans l’une d’elles, alors ce sera pour toi comme si riaient toutes les étoiles. Tu auras, toi, des étoiles qui savent rire. »
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
