"A pleasing diversion in the aftermath"

Chionanthus virginicus
Grancy Graybeard / White Fringetree
(Growing up, we called them "Granddaddy Graybeard" )
A carefree native, this small tree puts on a heck of a show in late spring
with thousands of pendulous, delicately fragrant white flowers covering
the tree before the leaves emerge.
At the end of bloom season, the green leaf tips accent the snowy
blooms for an impressive finale.
It's no wonder the Fringetree has been a garden favorite and
heritage plant for generations!

The Grancy Graybeard is dioecious, meaning that there are male and female trees.
The males are typically showier in bloom due to their longer petals, however,
it is the female plants that are bedecked with dark blue fruit in late summer.
Birds relish the fleshy fruit and will find it easily, even though the foliage
sometimes hides it from view.
The best way enjoy the graybeard is to have at least one of each, and to be
certain you get a male and female, purchase them in late summer or early fall when fruit
will be present on the female plants.
All the ones we had in our yard were taken from out of the woods,
And never thrived, but the wonderful fragrance would just about
KNOCK YOU DOWN if you were standing close to it, on a still day
When the warm sun had been shining on it, then a breeze came up
And blew the smell over to you...it was heavenly!!

The AFTERMATH was in reference to the wreck I had on the way to
The Chiropractor. No injuries, a man turned in front of me to make an
Illegal right turn. Damage to my car mostly. Pictures and possibly
Video to follow in another post

These images were taken by me this morning, using a Canon PowerShotSX30 IS
