That's lovely Carole, never heard of that tree unless it goes by another name here in Scotland.

Thank you very much! It seems it doesn’t flower for about 15 yrs, I’ve had it for 3 yrs….I’ll be lucky if I live to see it flower 🥹. It is also called a ‘Dove Tree’ or Davidii after the explorer who found it in China I think.

Watercolour, watercolour pencils. I have this tree, waiting for the handkerchief to appear! The white look alike flowers are really white leaf bracts which turn green later in year..
