Dearest Phactor,
a wonderful plant fully justifying your Magnolia obsession/addiction.
The Hillier manual gives the following for the origin of 'Leonard Messel':
" A chance hybrid between an unusual M.kobus which has a pale purple line along the centre of its tepals, and M.stellata 'Rosea'. Originated at Nymans, Sussex [south of England], a great garden made by the late Col. Messel."
thanks for posting!

Thanks, not a surprising origin since some people think M. stellata is just a variety of M. Kobus anyways, and rosea another, e.g. Calloway's World of Magnolias. The plant labelled M. Kobus on our campus has quite big flowers with very wide tepals without a hint of pink.
