Against a historic downtown Binghamton backdrop, and a blue sky, it is even more beautiful. Here's a little information about this tree.
Grancy Greybeard, Fringe Tree, Old Man's Beard. It is called many names.
This variety of tree, Chionanthus virginicus, is in bloom right now where I live.
Enjoy this flower for today's #ThursdayTreeLove, hosted by Parul Thakur. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree and link it back to her post. Let’s appreciate Nature around us!
Alana your posts on Thursday Tree Love are so unique, informative and fascinating. Thank you for introducing me to a unique Native American tree.

Thank you, Natasha, for dropping by and providing me the link.
DeleteBeautiful photo of the tree with the magnificent building as a background! Visit my world: Share Your World - From Voortrekker Monument to Kruger National Park.
ReplyDeleteShirley, I've never been to your part of the world in person, but at least I can now visit virtually! Thank you.
Deletewow...such lovely flowers...you shot this in which season?
ReplyDeleteIt's spring where I live. We don't have a monsoon/rainy season. We have snow and lots of cold in the winter, but now many things are blooming.
DeleteSuch a beautiful, lush green tree. Love those flowers - very unusual indeed!
ReplyDeleteThey really are unusual. Thank you for stopping by!
Deletewhat a pretty tree - and in such a lovely old area. You do discover the most interesting little snippets to photograph Alana - I'm always interested to see what you put up each week.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leanne - you've made my day!
DeleteHere I thought I was the only one to sport a grey beard...
ReplyDeleteHa, my spouse has one, too. But it isn't as pretty as the tree beard is.
DeleteI don't think I've ever seen one of those before.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't that common here, either. I saw one in Otsiningo Park (a picture of that park is in tomorrow's post) several years ago and was amazed. I was even more amazed to find one blocks from where I work!
DeleteWow, what a beautiful tree. I don't think that I've ever seen a tree like that.
