Does anyone know what the name of this tree is? It is a variety of cherry…………….. I think from Australia originally. It has these fluffy blooms at this time of year and bunches of small inediable black fruit later.

Yellow roses In the front garden. I love the way these start off such a deep golden colour then fade to pale lemon, tinged with pink.

The new begonias are doing well too. I especially like the one with the pink frilly edge.
