Susan Woodrow February 9, 2022 at 10:22 AM that impressive tree was the highlight of my Tombstone visit and pity it was in the fall coz it would be so impressive in full bloom! Lovely tanka for your Shady Lady...we have a night club here by that name but I prefer it as a rose bush :) Kim Rodrigues February 9, 2022 at 12:33 PM I would. Love to see it in full bloom! However it was blooming with birdsong. Thank you, Susan! :)
