I've found a really pretty shrub growing wild which smells strongly of Magnolia. I assume it is a variety of Magonlia however when I've tried to determine which variety so I can find out which type of cutting to take I can't find any pictures/desc which vaguley resemble this shrub.
The flowers are in clusters and a pretty lemon yellow in colour with faint pink vains,each flower is shaped like a trumpet with the stamen protruding. The buds are green at the base and fuschia pink at the tip, as they develop the pink fades and the green turns yellow before opening. The cluster are of up to a dozen flowers which appear to open in slow succession. The stems of the plant are tinged fuschia and the leaves smooth and waxy, the only part that looks anything like the pictures I've found! I had thought it may be a magnolia elizabeth but have since found a pic on internet and it's nothing like that.
I have now taken numerous semi ripe cuttings but would still like to identify the plant!
