Flowering trees

[nepia]

too much chat, not enough imagery

 

 

Bossy boots. Anyone would think this was your thread.

 

As promised the specimen from today's work's neighbour. Not quite pure white after all but the camera lies; it's actually whiter than in the pics with just a slight pink flush.

Thank you sir. Given the unflattering shape presented by pics 2&3 I'm a bit reluctant to admit to having scrambled all over it last summer taking 10%+ length off everything and giving the whole crown a serious thin; there was very little light getting into it.

The shape really is better than those two pics make out, honest guv.

Hi Chaps, can't wait to see what comes up next!

 

Took this a few years back in Paris, lovely avenue of Paulownia tomentosa, by luck we're were out there just as the blooms were doing their stuff! Turns out they are quite commonly planted in the city, can't say i've seen too many knocking around the streets of London!

 

Hope the load works, first time loading a photo onto arbtalk!

Thats a fine line of trees & like the way you captured it.

Luck totally! you should see most of my attempts at photography, tend to be a bit trigger happy resulting in lots of slightly ambiguous shots!

 

Yeah i was blown away by them, think they work incredibly well 'on mass', would love to see more of them planted around.. I can see them lining some of the paths in our royal parks, make a change from the usual tree species palette used!

Some Southern Hemisphere flowering.....

 

Note the power cable pruning on the tree on the right in this shot

 

 

 

 

Classic South African Jacaranda acutifolia back in November 2012. Not sure about the perky pink flowering one though....

Very nice indeed! What a street tree!!

I was hoping someone from the Southern Hemisphere would show those: I remember a whole road lined with them on both sides in Perth. What a sight.

 

Thanks mrmrfoster.

Sadly/gladly not a resident of the Southern Hemisphere. Here is one more though, overlooking the premier residential area of Johannesburg, Melville. Johannesburg is also known to be the largest Man-made forest. Maybe the UK will catch onto that idea someday....
