If they look familiar, I've blogged about them before.
2018 Tree Love post
2017 Tree Love post
But what I wanted to bring you today is a little Battle of the Horse Chestnuts - white vs. red, the two varieties we have. The white ones are much more common. The reds are a hybrid.
You decide which you like the best, red vs. white.
Red (but really more pink) closeup
Red fullsize (noting this is a young tree).
And the winner is....? Please comment below.
I am joining Parul at Happiness and Food for her bi-monthly #ThursdayTreeLove
Loved the photos!
ReplyDeleteI think the white shows up better against the green.
ReplyDeleteHi Alana - I love the pink ones, but the white ones are the show offs - I've just been reading how they were brought to England in the 1500s - by the Tradescants (father and son) (Philippa Gregory books).
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately they have a disease ... which seems to be spreading, as other trees have particular diseases - it's a difficult time for flora and fauna. Love the photos - hope the little pink one flourishes! Stay safe - Hilary
both
ReplyDeleteThey look very colourful in the first one.
ReplyDeleteI like the red better, but they're both nice.
ReplyDeleteThe white are striking, and unusual with the other colors.
ReplyDeleteIts difficult to choose but if I have to my vote goes to White!
ReplyDeleteI liked all the photos:) they are so good. I am attracted to the first one "the White close up" thanks for sharing these beauties, its so pleasant to see.

They are all winners because they make our streets and surroundings look so beautiful. I noticed that the white ones had two colors inside. It's so pretty. Thanks for joining, Alana. See you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a lovely treat to visit your blog, Alana. I pick white as the winner. It's so pleasant. :)
