Koelreuteria paniculata is native to China and South Korea but seems to be happy in Romford. We are fortunate that previous owners of our house had the vision to plant some very unusual shrubs and trees in our gardem.At the moment it is in bloom. The flowers have small petals which fall like a golden shower (fnur fnur) on the ground

That is a beauty, I haven't seen one of those before.
Thanks Cherie. THe previous owners put in some things that are very unusual for a suburban garden, especially a small one like ours
Plants behaving badly, who knows what else can be in store for sweeps week.
Cross species pollination aided by evil humming birds did not pass the censor.
The house we used to own in RI was built by a sea captain who also collected strange trees and shrubbery. We did have something that looked much like this but I didn't know what it was called.
That is kind of a rare tree around here. Not sure why as it is beautiful.
Ah perhaps the evil hummingbirds should team up with the pigeons. Pigeons have a plan
What a treat it must have been to have that garden Susan
It's a pity it is not more common DFP
That's pretty. I've never been interested in shrubs but I'm growing to appreciate them more. We have a bit of garden that needs something doing to it and my flower gardening is notable only for its lack of success. Maybe shrubs are the answer!
It's well worth looking out for some unusual plants and shrubs to make the garden a bit more distinctive
It looks very interesting. I wish I had a small garden like yours. But I have one huge green plant in my solarium which keeps growing, and growing. It's nearly a miracle. Because I've been known to kill cacti just by looking at them. You're lucky your tree is far away...
You kill cacti.. Wow Claude you are truly the Anti-Gardener!
