Treasured tree

This tree is a Eucryphia Nymansay which I treasure. It came as a cutting from a previous house, and took about 16 years to start flowering. The cutting came from a tree which was itself a cutting from a neighbour and took many years to flower. However, there are no other trees which produce large flowers in late summer. Flowers are rather sparse this year because of the bad weather last winter and spring. Thanks to BobsBlips for hosting.
