        They are so pretty Pete. Reminds me of the two huge ones I had in Alabama.

          Very difficult to photograph, I think I need a drone as the view from above would be the best one.
          Photos never do them justice.

                I've been growing them for years, but they need a hot summer to do well.
                The leaves are unusual as well.

                            What a beautiful garden you've got @Upsydaisy :smile:

                            Ah Eucomos @pete I had forgotten about those, nice to be reminded of them so that I can add them to my wish list for next year :smile:

                            Never heard of Albizia, it's very unusual. I don't think they'd do well here.
