Paulownia Tomentosa the Anna Paulownia tree.
I have found this tree in an Arboretum in Eeklo Belgium!
It's worth it ! ;-) yes it does 😍
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A true and interesting story:
Carving paulownia wood is an art form in Japan and China.
The leaves can be eaten cooked; the flowers are edible, for example in a salad. But people only eat the plant in dire need, when there is nothing else to eat.
In early spring, before the leaves emerge, the fragrant, light lilac-purple flowers appear. Their scent is reminiscent of vanilla.
A decoction of the leaves is used to cleanse nasty sores and is said to promote hair growth and prevent graying. The leaves can also be used as a compress for bruises. The juice of the leaves is used against warts. The flowers are used in the treatment of skin conditions. A tincture of the bark is used in the treatment of fever and delirium. It has an astringent effect and is also used to expel parasitic worms.
The wood is not attacked by insects and is used to make boxes, clogs, furniture, musical instruments, etc. It is suitable for poles and beams in construction and a source of charcoal. The nitrogen-rich leaves are a good fodder crop and the roots prevent soil erosion. Various Asian string instruments are made from Paulownia tomentosa, including the Japanese koto and the Korean gayageum zither.
The plant contains a number of potentially toxic substances.
In China, this tree was traditionally planted at the birth of a girl. The fast-growing tree developed as the girl grew up. When she got married, the tree was cut down and the wood was carved into items for her dowry.

Maybe
Sometimes
We cling to things
That make us bleed
Because we'd rather
Feel the pain
In the familiar
Than the peace
In the unknown

Happy Slider Sunday
The city is a heaving, sighing senseless beast - arms, legs, noise and stifling heat pressing in on you, squeezing you out. Then the rains come and for the smallest moment you get to feel free. Or at least a little cleaner.

I took a total of 1,210 shots from this photo shoot. I was determine to get some good ones. haha. I had to put a towl over my camera so it wouldnt get wet and i had to walk back and forth to make sure the photos were in focus and looked good. But it was fun.
I'm going to upload more sometime today.
