Look at this beautiful tree.  Its name is Chionanthus virginicus, and is commonly known as Fringe-Tree.  This one lives in the parking lot of the Methodist Church in Blairsville.  

 

We saw a wild one blooming when we were walking in the park, so we doubled back to the church parking lot.  I knew there was one there, planted near the visitor entrance.  I wanted to get close enough to smell it:  it is lovely!!  I also wanted to take its picture for you to see.

 

I've seen them planted in shopping center parking lots, and even utilized in roadside plantings.  So, they must be available in garden centers.  

 

There are a bunch on Ft Eustis Blvd in Yorktown, VA.  Those are probably blooming now too.  I wish I could go see them.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
