Trees to look out for in the Gliffaes Garden

Some of the Flowering Trees this August

The Eucryphia nymansensis "Nymansay"is in full bloom.  It looks fabulous with beautiful white, wild rose-like flowers. It is located on the courtyard.

Meanwhile, the Indian Bean Tree, above the smaller of our car parks, is also flowering. I am glad it has obliged me with some flowers so that I can definitely say it is the Catalpa Bignonioides! 



Pretty cream flowers adorn the enormous leaves.









Many of the Buddleia are still flowering too.


This next tree, which I think is a Bottlebrush Buckeye (Aesculus parviflora), is magnificent with large white upright flowers and red exserted anthers.
