  Reply | Contact I am visiting Europe and US from New Zealand and am trying to identify a couple of things. The first is a tree that is currently in bloom in Germany and Luxembourg and probably elsewhere. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/380224_10150799380704397_553034396_9326279_925480168_n.jpg The second is a plant I saw in a Manhattan garden. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/74711_10150682020199397_553034396_9154146_1885314261_n.jpg If anyone can help, I would be so grateful.
