Just as I thought - a red buckeye, which has a few other common names, but from your photo I'm going to go with <i>Aesculus</i> x. <i>carnea</i>. <br />Does that earn me a seat beside you on the plane? I mean, you NEED me so that I can help identify plants, right? ;-)Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177210554306934304.post-43791093522066776382014-12-03T00:56:03.060-06:002014-12-03T00:56:03.060-06:00Oh my goodness gracious sakes a livin', Barbar...Oh my goodness gracious sakes a livin', Barbara! What GORGEOUS photos! You have really outdone yourself and you've made me completely envious of your trip! That's now on MY bucket list!<br /><br />You unidentified blooming tree or shrub HAS to be a type of buckeye. It's SO very similar to both the Ohio buckeye and the red buckeye, I'm certain it's in the same genus. If I can find any definitive ID from your photo, I'll let you know, but this is just at first glance and my familiarity with them. Of course, I could be wrong too, but I don't think so.<br /><br />May I go with you when you go back? ;-)Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177210554306934304.post-58823766154573625062014-12-02T23:43:31.611-06:002014-12-02T23:43:31.611-06:00Loree, you would probably get a big kick just hang...Loree, you would probably get a big kick just hanging out in our kitchen listening to the dialog with my sons. My favorite: about six years ago at dinner I asked the boys, "Does anyone know how to blog?" Dead silence. Then raucous laughter. They still can't get over their plant nerdy mommy's propensity for techiness. barbara wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834134752021359282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177210554306934304.post-80723410250757131562014-12-02T23:35:19.601-06:002014-12-02T23:35:19.601-06:00Dear Anonymous, I'm trying to hunt down the fe...Dear Anonymous, I'm trying to hunt down the fern variety - I'll let you know as soon as I find out!<br />barbara wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834134752021359282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177210554306934304.post-34449247458799291262014-12-02T11:20:43.849-06:002014-12-02T11:20:43.849-06:00Love that you shared your though process at the be...Love that you shared your though process at the beginning, I would have been thinking the same...you know if I had a kid. <br /><br />Bring on the NZ photos!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177210554306934304.post-15324541156402843962014-12-02T00:15:22.021-06:002014-12-02T00:15:22.021-06:00Do you happen to know the name of the fern you too...Do you happen to know the name of the fern you took the picture of in this post?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
