    I'm fishing for a theme here - a few more photos of things I liked last Tuesday that aren't pink.

    This Magnolia sargentiana is off the main path in the Asian Garden, before the tunnel.

    Also white is the Prunus incisa, which I finally managed to catch before it finished blooming. Incisa is a parent of 'Okame', 'Shosar', 'Umineko' and 'Snow Goose' cherries, maybe also our Sargent Hybrid cherries.

    Whitish-yellow flowers on Sycopsis sinensis - Chinese fighazel.

    And now, not flowers at all - new leaves of Sorbus commixta.

    And new leaves from some rose.

    The first two are pale pink (or purple). The Magnolia sargentiana has the branching habit and tepal shape of var. robusta.
