I love seeing trees in bloom. At first it appears that this tree has more than one kind of flower. However, the yellow flowers have come from another plant and climbed the tree. The wisteria on the fence behind joins the party to add even more color. I love the way the colors combine.
W.S. Gilbert once wrote in The Mikado:
The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la / Bring promise of merry sunshine.
As gaily we dance and we sing, tra la / We welcome the promise they bring, tra la
Of a summer of roses and wine.
These flowers in the tree and on the fence seem to join in that promise.
Very nice photo of a tree with such glorious flowers.Thanks for sharing.
I love trees with gorgeous flowers. Of course most trees have flowers at some time, but they are normally small and one hardly noticed unless one looks for them.
They are like two mutually pleasing people. Or as two wolves woven into a magic waltz.
I love your original observations.
Thank you so much for sharing this joy and taking us in this great corner of nature!!!
Thank you for sharing in my joy in the beauty of this scene.
I love it! It is the best place to relax while seeing these blooms. c”,)
Unfortunately these trees are on the street, so there is nowhere to sit and just enjoy them.
I hope there is a tree like this in the park. But I do like them. c”,)
I’ve never seen one in any of our parks here. I’ll just have to enjoy it when I go to the mailbox to get mail. It’s right near my mailbox.
That’s nice. It would be a good thing to see them.
What a beautiful photo and little song you added.
This made my day. Seems like the blooms have
all made friends.
I love the music in the Mikado, a comic light opera from long ago.
I need to look into this. Music is my therapy.
It won’t appeal to everyone. But I love the satire. You can find the song on YouTube in many different versions. I had it in a Squidoo lens that told the whole story, but it wasn’t a good fit for HubPages so I unpublished it. Haven’t gotten around to publishing it elsewhere yet. Before you listen to the song, find the plot line. There is a whole site devoted to Gilbert and Sullivan with links to all the stories and lyrics. The song is meant to be humorous and only knowing the story makes it so. The part I’ve quoted is the first verse when the hero has discovered a way to marry his lady love who had been engaged to Nankipoo, the son of the Mikado who was disguised as a wandering minstrel. He had disguised himself because it had been arranged that he should marry Katisha, an elderly and ugly woman. To avoid being executed himself, the Lord High Executioner, Koko, has to convince Katisha to marry him when her heart had been set on marrying Nankipoo, who has arranged a fake execution to avoid marrying Katisha. The second verse of this song is Koko courting Katisha.
As you can see, the plot is quite complex, but the music is fun, with lots of harmony in the choruses.
Absolutely stunning tree especially since it is so close to the fence. The flowers look intermingled. The scent from all those flowers must be very relaxing.
They don’t all have a lot of scent, but they certainly do seem to intermingle.
What kind of tree is this?
I wish I knew. The closest thing I can find online so far is a black locust tree. It i widely planted in my area and the flowers resemble what I see in my photo. Do you know?
I might, but I’d need a closeup picture of the leaves and flowers.
I’ll try to tweet one to you with the flowers enlarged.
This is so beautiful! It looks like a flower paradise!
I agree, Ellie. It almost looks tropical.
This is really beautiful-we do see nature the same-Thanks for the complement.
You’re welcome. Nature is my favorite photo subject.
Beautiful days will be more special with their presence.
That is true. It’s a shame the blooming season for trees is so short.
You are right, but everything on earth has its limit, isn’t it? Hehe…
Or, as the Bible says, for everything there is a season.
Yes, that is also very true!
Lovely flowers. Here in Latvia in May it will be very lovely and colorful with lilacs blooming everywhere.
The lilacs are already in bloom here. A neighbor just showed me hers and let me smell it. There used to be one in my yard, but it died before I moved in.
