    Here's what thrilled me yesterday.

    Tetradium glabrifolium leaves. This tree received a lot of attention in the Korean Evodia (Bee Bee Tree, Tetradium daniellii) thread, where it was mentioned that it started flowering in October last year. It never did seem to have a lot of the flowers open at one time, so maybe it would be considered open now. This was the bees' favourite yesterday.

    This Acer pictum Subsp. Ookamotoanum has the best leaves.

    Paris polyphylla var. polyphylla is another favourite.
