Nothing like that scent, those fleshy petals are so sensual too. I taught my daughter how to crack the bases and peel away the different layers - the pink, the inner white, and the almost-clear membrane on the other side. We can sit forever and do that when our neighbors' petals rain down. <br /><br />It's so hard to choose a favorite flowering tree... I guess I will always have a soft spot for fragrant ornamental cherries. <br /><br />PS Your mountain laurel is Kalmia, right? Does it have flowers that start out bunched up and then expand to half-circles? We had one like that when I was growing up. I always liked to "pop" the flowers before they opened. Guess I have always been a bit of a flower-torturer!Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-10616893037859469942010-04-07T22:38:34.810-04:002010-04-07T22:38:34.810-04:00I love this tree and have tried several times to g...I love this tree and have tried several times to get one established here...Your photos are so enchanting they make me want to try planting one again! gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-77192796003258761552010-04-07T17:30:13.055-04:002010-04-07T17:30:13.055-04:00YES!!!!

Perhaps I should go edit that... <br /><br />I've been in the market for a new flowering tree too. We had some junipers get smashed by the snow and had to remove them. Yesterday I finally made the decision and got a Wolf Eyes Kousa Dogwood that I'm very, VERY excited about:)beth - total mom haircuthttp://www.totalmomhaircut.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-73429349444910698842010-04-07T08:45:25.610-04:002010-04-07T08:45:25.610-04:00My comment disappeared.
