Last tree to blossom

This tree is always the last to blossom. It has beautiful creamy yellowish petals and when the seeds develop the birds flock to them and feast enthusiastically! After passing through the birds' digestive system the resultant mess is a violent purple , so beware all those who walk anywhere near it !!

Margaret and I want to say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who sent their best wishes for our 35th anniversary. We were really very touched with all the comments.

Of course today's blip was taken with my anniversary present ! I was about 40 feet away and this was near the top of the tree.
