Maples I think

Heh. *That would be ironic, as I am in a position to recognize the odd

I think you will find that the trees were container grown. After the
wedding, the other flowers and plants will be left at the church until
May 6 for the public to view. After that the trees will be taken to
Highgrove, Charles’s residence in western England.
The couple hope that other cut plants and flowers will be donated to
charities or re-planted.
