Two unidentified plants
I'm doing more pictures, for the website, and so far there's two plants that I can't identify.
Here's the pics:
1) A yellow shrub, with largish trefoil leaf, and yellow big flowerspikes. It's something between a laburnum (but it's not hanging) and a butterfly bush (but it's yellow, and has those trefoil leaves...)
Pic: Branch with yellow flowers and upstanding flowerbuds.
2) A magnolia-like large flower, and an equally large flowerbud. If they were leafless I'd label them Magnolia sp. and be done with it; as is, they have way too much leaf for magnolias in flower, so what are they?
I'm not quite sure that these two are of the same species. I expect they're in the same genus, though. They were growing rather close to each other, in Kew Gardens, in London, in early June.
Many thanks.

I found your website very
I found your website very useful. I live in Argentina I speak spanish.
I have this large pink flowerbud, it is now loosing all the leaves and in winter it has noone leave and lots of flowers... I asked the same you did about if it was a Magnolia, I was told is the nude rose. I also believe is a magnolia is very common here in Buenos Aires Argentina. I will ask more info. Sorry for my english I speak spanish.
Also I breed dogs and find your website triying to looking for natural repelents for insects. Thank you. Hilda
Hi, Henriette Your yellow
Hi, Henriette
Your yellow flowering shrub is: Cytisus battandieri Maire
The pink ones are Magnolias, but difficult to tell what (Species) or cultivar.
The first (erect one) is looking like a Magnolia liliiflora Desr. (e.g.'Nigra' is a popular cultivar) see one of the small erect sepaloid tepals at the base of the flower
The other one is maybe an other one, I can not tell yet now so more pics please...
best wishes

Many thanks for that, Jan!
Many thanks for that, Jan! I've ditched older scans so I'll need to rescan the magnolias.
