Black Locust Flower

We are back in the trees again with this beautiful pink and white cluster of flowers of the Black Locusts that grow at the top of our garden. It is strange that I have only seriously looked at the flowers of trees rarely in the past, probably because they are so often higher than I can reach or see easily. This project has inspired me to make more of an effort as far as they are concerned and these, happily, were hanging low enough for me to really examine and photograph. I never realised that these had such beautiful blossoms. If you have never been able to look closely at them, I am happy to share with you today. Enjoy your Friday, my friends.

  1. I had never heard of this particular locust before, only the honey locust – one of which is standing on my front lawn. So to see what pretty blooms it produces is a wonderful surprise. You are right, one should pay closer attention to the flowers our trees put forth. They are every bit as beautiful as the one that grow in the ground. Thank you, Ellie, for bring them nearer to us all.

    1. I’m delighted, in that case, to have introduced you to this tree and its flowers. We also have a big 2 foot log of it in the drive, drying for future use in Steven’s work. Thanks for the comment, as always, Janet.

  2. Thanks again Ellie. They are lovely and I see the cluster of them hanging in the back so to see them all together would be an even nicer . Can’t wait for next spring to see all these ones in person.
