That is a beautiful tree and in full bloom. Very nice.
Thank you for naming my tree. Some time after that post I took a pic of the tree and its flower and I found its name but I can't find that post now. So much for my archiving technique. Your tree is pretty. It looks like it is covered in snow.
Meraviglioso giardino ... l'albero è bellissimo così fiorito.
Happy day :-)
