My hawthorn does not have the pink blush, though. Is yours a special one? -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

That new camera is certainly earning its keep! By coincidence, I saw a hawthorn in full flower the other day and it was the most fabulous sight. it was one of the deep pink ones and really was 'in your face' gorgeous. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

It's lovely. I'll have to keep my eyes open for something like it. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

I think those intensely deep pink ones are gorgeous, but I've only ever seen double flowered ones in gcs/nurseries. I prefer single flowers which are better for insects. Do you remember if 'your' flowers were double or not? -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

Do you remember if 'your' flowers were double or not? I'm pretty sure they were double. Now you mention it, I don't recall seeing any other than double ones in that intense pink. But there's a wonderful Malus with brone leaves and deep pink flowers called Royalty and another with slightly lighter pink flowers and bronze leaves called Liset. They're extremely pretty plants. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Rod Oh yes, I'm aware of that, Rod, but David's flowers look quite fresh to me. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

Thanks, Sacha. I'm sure I've seen M.'Royalty' in a couple of gcs. The bronze leaves with those deep pink flowers is very attractive. One day I should like to find room for one. The garden needs a lot of work just now. Something for my wishlist. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |
