This beautiful bark is on a Paperbark Bottlebrush that I found a few days ago. Not sure what colour the flowers will be, that's something to look forward to. But the bark was fantastic, reddish and flaky
A birch trunk frames a view in the Denver Botanic Garden. This is an amazing garden very near downtown Denver. I wasn’t sure if it was too early in the Spring to have enough blooms to photograph but all the spring bulbs and trees were in flower. We had a wonderfully temperate, sunny day in which to explore the entire site. One section was under refurbishment, but this will give us something new to see when we return.
