Blooming Trees

We treated ourselves to lunch at the  Rick Stein restaurant in Winchester, and  very good it was too. 
As we had  arrived in good time  we had an opportunity for a little walk beforehand. The fine specimen of Davidia involucrata, (Pocket Handkerchief tree)  in Abbey Gardens  is looking at its  best right now. In extras I have included a closer view of the distinctive inflorescences. Each purplish flowerhead is surrounded by a pair of large white bracts, which flutter like a pinched handkerchief, or dove, to attract pollinating . insects.    
The  second extra shows the  City Mill, on the River Itchen, with its striking  Cercis siliquastrum (Judas tree ) now also in full bloom.
