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.

although the hummers seem to like my silk tree better when it's in
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.
