Which Horse Chestnut??

I grew this tree from a conker given to me by a friend and the tree has now developed its first flower bud, I'm sure that although similar it's not the same as Aesculus hippocastanum which we see everywhere. My tree has a lovely orange/rust coloured bloom on the new growth and flower buds and the leaves are darker green and more robust than softer lighter green leaves seen on the usual trees

Any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance

@Silver surfer ?

 

I tend to think the "normal"hippocastanum is fairly variable.

Could be a pink or possibly a good red, who knows, always interesting when something like this flowers first time.

 

Not long to wait @pete

It's like expecting the birth of your first child

 

It's not the Indian one

 

I think you will find the Indian one flowers about a month later.

 

Mine does seem to be behind the usual ones around the town, can't wait for the flower to open now
