Lots more. Also from our excursion to Highland Park. Let’s start with two pictures of a lovely Two-winged Silverbell (the English name is pretty and all, but I also like the Latin name: Halesia diptera).
Highland Parks is best known for its large lilac collection, but most of the lilacs had more or less finished blooming when we got there. But there were a few exceptions.
One of our favourite trees was a grand old Katsura that had long limbs sweeping to the ground. We lamented the fact that we won’t live long enough to grow one of our own.
But maybe we can raise a peony to maturity at some point.
And here’s one picture that’s not from Highland Park. Rather these are mere annuals just outside our door.
