Tree ID please.....
Around town today I have seen several trees with magnificent lavender
flowers on them. They aren't big flowers, but rather small "clyindrical shaped" flowers. I am not sure whether or not they will open up more, but they were amazing compared to all of the dull boring colors everywhere else in austin. Does anybody know what I am talking about? I asked 2 people who had them in their yards what kinda trees they were.....they didn't have a clue. I don't really think that they put them there. They probably were there when they moved in. Ok. Appreciate any help. |

I don't know for sure, but Mountain Laurel is blooming now. Do a search to see
if that's what you mean. These do not get very large, that I know of. Old specimens may be 15 feet tall.

Well.
Neither one of the pictures were big enough for me to really tell, but I think that it was a redbud that I was talking about. It was at least a good 20 25 ft the big one that I saw, so I think that would rule out the other one. I am sorry if my vocabulary has disappeared......i just woke up. Thanks for your help. =will= |

Maybe it wasn't a redbud tree. All of the pictures of the redbuds that I could find were exactly like they sounded (red). Redbuds are not red. They have lavender colored to purple flowers. I took a second look at the tree's, (I wish that I had a darned digital camera) and they are way more of a light purple color then red. Redbuds. -- Victor M.

No...they're not redbuds. I know exactly what you're talking about, cause
I've seen them too. They're gorgeous, but I've never found anybody who knows what they are. They are most definitely NOT redbuds, tho. -- Elizabeth of the Tudor Tarts http://www.tudortarts.com/ "Texensis" wrote in message ... "Victor M.

Redbud trees have a deep lavender to fuschia color to the flowers...maybe even
the color "orchid" comes to mind. Maybe what you are seeing are flowering quince? Can you tell me where this tree is and when I go out today maybe it will be on my path to where I'm going. I'd love to see it. Victoria On Mon, 24 Feb 2003 09:04:23 -0600, "Elizabeth of the Tudor Tarts" wrote: No...they're not redbuds. I know exactly what you're talking about, cause I've seen them too.

The tree I am talking about is on the corner of Scribe and Amherst in
northwest Austin, off of Parmer and Mopac Another location where I have seen this tree is At Metric and Wellsbranch. It's where metric ends and meets wells branch. There is an Apartment complex with a medium sized "mystery tree" there. You have to get on to metric to actually see it though...... Did you want those mina lobata seeds by the way? =will= |

If you look at the URL, that would be in Arkansas - it flowers earlier here. |

Paulownia does not flower without foliage on the tree. I have one and it is
nowhere near foliage stage! It must be something else. On Mon, 24 Feb 2003 09:15:22 -0600, "Elizabeth of the Tudor Tarts" wrote: HA! I found it!
