    Every year I am facsinated by this lovely tree Ceris siliquastrum(Judas Tree),the way that lots of the flowers grow straight from the trunk.
    This tree is in our local churchyard.

    I'm reposting this as I put it in the April thread by mistake!


    Rhododendrons and azaleas grow well up in our neck of the woods, they are no-problem shrubs. Here are a few pics of two of our azaleas -


    This is a grafted variety, 2 colours on one bush -

    This yellow azalea smells heavenly!

    That's a lovely colour Elaine. Seeing it reminds me that we have a small one in a pinky colour more or less hidden away!

    The 2nd pic of your yellow azalea,Kedi,isn`t it similar to a lilly flower?, or is it just me being thick?..I think it was you who told me about rhodo`s being the same family as azalea but is lilly also? I keep asking these daft questions but i have to to learn. [​IMG] [​IMG]
