This is the most glorious tree in our neighborhood. It’s across our back alley and has been a favorite subject for many years because the silhouette is so beautiful against any sky during any season or time of day. The photo was taken nine days ago during the almost full moon on September 12th.

I’ve taken a lot of photos of this plant and its flowers because it has such strong character and creates a beautiful sillhouette during any time of day or season. It does crowd all the other shrubs though. Still learning about gardening in the South, next time I would plant it in an open or isolated spot allowing at least 3 feet of space around it. It grows so large so quickly, with a massive thick root ball, so it’s pretty much permanent once it’s been growing for a few months.
