That's an amazing tree :o)))

Randy:

Thanks my friend! :>)

Have you not seen all these trees in the overflow parking lot in back of the Sport Museum in Balboa Park? It's right off President's Drive, east of Park Blvd.

Meanie,

Thanks! :>)

Alexandramou:

Yes, when it blooms, it blooms! :>)

Palmate:

I used to have a large tree, which I purchased many years ago from the Los Angeles Arboretum for only $15.00. I gave it to my mother 12 years ago.

I need to get some cuttings...from what I understand it grows very easily from hardwood cuttings.

Beatuiful and looks so soft too.

Yes, the flowers are soft.

:o))

I'll need to check them out this weekend , I haven't caught then blooming before

Randy:

Check out the very large tree at Morley Field/Balboa Park near the entrance (the drive going to the swimming pool area).

The trees in the parking lot which I posted, bloom very early...sometimes as early as January (which is non-typical, since it's suppose to be a summer blooming tree).
