These wonderful flowers on the Broussonetia kazinoki, a handsome tree in the Mulberry family, are such a contrast of hard, knotty globe at the centre of a diaphanous halo of pale lilac-pink filaments.

Chinese red birch

By Cathy Parker. Watercolour and ink.

Cathy returns to this iconic tri-stemmed tree in the Winter Garden time and again. Each year, each season, each turn of weather paints the trunks with different opalescent tones of pink, buff, mauves and off-whites.
