Golden Rain

 I don't know if I have ever encountered this tree before. But it sure was a special moment when we happened to pass it!!




It is called The Golden Rain Tree. The seed pods resemble small Chinese lanterns and remain on the tree well into the fall.


It was a quite magical sight for me.


“Each blossom is a sunbeam in disguise, and the golden rain tree stands like a lantern of hope in the garden’s heart.”

This tree is so unique and beautiful...I've not heard of it before, but I'm sending a picture to Sam to see if he is familiar with it...If not, I know some of his Nursery friends will be. He has several growers up in your similar area that he is in contact with each week. Love the quote.

I have never seen a tree like this one, Ginny, and how perfect that there was a yellow pick-up truck in the area!

I have never heard of the 'golden rain' tree before, Ginny. It's soooo pretty. Reminds me of Fall too with the golden leaves. And that yellow truck in the distance makes the picture so delightful. Thanks for sharing, Ginny, and have a good September week. The month is going by so quickly.
