Laburnum ...

... sometimes called Golden Chain or Golden Rain. They look stunning when in full bloom.

Wow, spectacular or what?

We do get these in UK, but not usually that big. Flowering trees are unusual here..

I can see how it got its name. Nice shot.

At least with the sun shining you can see yourself freezing.

Thanks Mark. I guess it must be a bit cool over your way for flowering trees. Just a mild 38° today and for the rest of the week

Thanks David. They really are a glorious looking tree but a bit messy, which is all part of the process I suppose.

They should have had rows of these. Would have been very picturesque.

No worse than Jacarandas I guess. I don't mind the visual effect of the colours when they drop the flowers but I'm glad it's a few houses away.
