Inspired by a handkerchief tree.
It was the perfume that caught my attention. Then I looked up into a canopy of translucent green leaves and a Host of ‘hankies’ fluttering in the breeze.
Its official name is Davidia involucrata but it’s also known as the ghost tree and the dove tree.
Handkerchieves, ghosts and doves are all equally suitable names for this magical tree. I’m going back tomorrow to soak up its magic before it passes it’s best.
