14/04/15 Ahead of the hottest day of the year, Lucie Bell marvels at the Magnolia Iolanthe tree at Lea Gardens near Matlock in the Derbyshire Peak District. Garden owner, Pete Tye said: "The tree normally flowers two weeks earlier than this and its blooms usually succumb to frost - but it's been worth the wait this year as it's the best we've ever seen it".
