I just took another trip to Emerald pool in Krabi, I think this is Vesicularia sp. (?) and might be “Krabi moss” or “Christmas moss” form since its from limestone water?
Sorry for the low quality photo, the moss is behind a national park fence so I can’t get to it.
We had nice weather over the Easter weekend and there is always plenty to do on public holidays in Guernsey!
Cliff top walks are one of our favourite pastimes, Pettit Bot is one of the steeper paths but really pretty.
A short video and a few pics…

Been out and about during the holidays.
Lost Gardens of Heligan
Closer to home
Part of a disused Victorian water works. The central pagoda is a lantern that allows natural light into an underground reservoir below.
Wild garlic growing everywhere, and second image below starting to flower.

Hi all,

There is also <"Thames Head"> at Coates, but I've never been there when it has been a spring, it has always been dry.

Not a photographer, and these were taken by a crappy phone. Paraná River in Corrientes.

I have seen this tree yesterday over here in Cheltenham yesterday.
Obviously not that fully bloomed as where you live but it starts to bloom as well.
Do you have California Lilac Trees over where you live?
These looks awesome!
Hi all,
They are very easy as a semi-hardwood cutting, taken in about a month's time, but you need to consider their eventual height and spread.
cheers Darrel
It won't be Cassia fistula, just because it isn't hardy in the UK. It was more likely to be a "Laburnum" (probably <"Laburnum ×watereri 'Vossii'>). They look really similar and are flowering now.
I'm guessing they probably don't. I really like Ceanothus, but they are difficult to handle as they get older because you can't prune them into the old wood. When we moved into our present house we had a large one (possibly C. "Italian Skies") where the previous owner had cut ~1/3 out of it to give space for the washing line, and eventually I had to remove it because the brown third couldn't regrow.

It isn't or it is?
I'm not sure right now.
I'll have a look next time if i'll spot a differnce 😅
Laburnum, definitely not Cassia.
Shape of the flower. Laburnum has a <"pea shaped"> flower, in Cassia the petals are much more open.

Cassia fistula is a tropical / sub-tropical tree and is incidentally the national tree AND the national flower of Thailand often associated with royalty.

That’s the one.
Looks very similar doesn’t it?
Hi all,
cheers Darrel
That is the one, <"Laburnum x watereri "Vossii">. When I was a kid they were really common, but they've fallen out of favour, partially due to various stories about the risk to children of their poisonous seeds (the <"seeds are poisonous">).

Hi all,

Prunus padus "Watereri"
Looks like a "Bath Stone" building behind the tree, so Bristol?
