We wait all year for this tree. First it is bare from winter and then these blooms appear out of nowhere. They are sadly gone less than a month later. The green leaves are pretty too, then Fall comes and the tree goes bare again. We wait again all through the Winter while the buds get ready to bloom again. People stop and stare and even take pictures. I know it sounds silly, but we love being the owners of such a show stopping tree. Oh, did I mention that the petals fall all over the concrete and stick like glue and become slippery and gross...it's worth it though.
I adore that tree! You should be proud. My girls call it "the princess tree" because it has petals like a princess would throw and play in.
