RE: silk tree

I have the Albizia. The chorisias are amazing, aren't they? I have
drooled over them at several botanic gardens but they will freeze where
I live.

Cyndi, is your silk tree a Chorisia or the Albizia???  Just  curious.  I
recently saw the blooms on a friend's Chorisia.  They are  amazing,
definitely 
much larger and more open than the Desert Willow.   Pictures don't do
the blooms 
justice.  I never imagined they would be that  large.

Bees  love them and I've seen a hummingbird there once or twice as well,

bloom.
There's a  desert willow at the Santa Barbara botanic garden that is
just enormous so  they can grow quite large under good conditions.
