I like it a lot! Congrats Body on a lovely little tree. I think its not Pauls scarlet though. Probably rosea plena. The PS in Australia is a much darker colour. But I'm not convinced even that one is Paul's Scarlet as it is not even red. They are all beautiful though.

Thanks Treeman, and yes, Rosea flore Pleno is this guy. I got this guy a long time ago with a Pauls Scarlett label and did not know any better. When i saw the pink flowers :palm: i also scratched my head. Thank God i dont have a Horticulturist degree or they would take it off me :oops:

So this tree is now getting its second bend and i had to crack it to obtain what i wanted. I am sure it will survive. The tree has gone beyond anything "Natural" and i will now refer to it as a "piece of Art" instead of a tree. :lol: It will still have an impact i think as ramification develops but i have definitely lost the plot regards styling. :palm: Actually a lot of fun to do what turns you on though. Move over Lentz!

The tree has produced a profusion of flowers this year and as i get more ramification it gives more flowers, makes sense. They are browning off a little early this year so a piccy before they come off. Pot by regwac and i am not sure if it suits the tree yet.

Yeah, in my opinion that pot does not at all work with that particular tree. Stunning flower display Bodhi... beautiful.

It is that time of year when this Hawthorn flowers and i would like to share it with you. This tree gets better every year. The new pot is from Tracey Francis at Murrumbung.
