Wedding Cake Tree

This Cornus Controversa is now 9 years old and is the best it has ever been. The tiers of branches (which give it the common name Wedding Cake Tree) are laden with blossom and it is looking beautiful, despite the tips of most of the branches having been frosted a couple of weeks ago.

It has been a lovely warm day and I had to take care not to get sun burned while gardening. The bonus was that it was too warm for the midges to venture out!
