Pink SIRIS or Silk Tree




AS we head into depth of Summer, we are starting to see
some of the more exotic plants florish
ONE in particular is the mimosa like ALBEZIA julibrissin..with its
pink cotton top florets...I refer to it as SILK TREE.
Whilst others have their mauve blue JACARANDA or the
pink panicle of the CAPE CHESNUT tree...I celebrate each dusk with the silk tree closing down its leaflets like the mimosa plant..and each morning awaking to a pink flourish as sunlight catches the flower stamens of the Albezia
these are my 3 favourite summer flowering trees
