A Baby Conker!

(10th May)
Our little chestnut flower was a bit overshadowed by the leaves around it & never quite grew fully... the top few flowers never made it...
(17th May)
unlike some of its siblings....
(24th May)
as they developed the pinks in the petals became more intense....

(31st May)
the fading flowers gave way to new growth... wheras some of the flower spikes are filled with the swelling chestnuts or 'conkers' others have none at all...

(6th June)
our little one has one precious baby conker!

Really pretty flowers! I sometimes think that gardeners down here have spent so much time dedicating themselves to exotics that they have forgotten things like the lovely Chesnut... I think I would rather have a chesnut than a palm...
