Late in the season for the Open day. Still beautiful, would love to have seen it in full flower, with alliums, and astrantia in full flower, under the box edging.
The yellow flowers are responsible for the old poetic name 'golden chain tree' (also spelled golden chaintree or goldenchain tree).
All parts of the plant are poisonous, and can be lethal if consumed in excess. Symptoms of laburnum poisoning may include intense sleepiness, vomiting, convulsive movements, coma, slight frothing at the mouth and unequally dilated pupils. In some cases, diarrhoea is very severe, and at times the convulsions are markedly tetanic.
This long archway is in Bodnant Gardens. It took a few visits to get the timing right for the arch to be full of flower.

At Bodnant Gardens. It was not easy getting a shot without people - hence I haven't included all of the arch. It was quite lovely to see - first time I have walked through anything like this. It would have made a wonderful wedding venue!
The Laburnum Arch looking absolutely stunning at Dorothy Clive Gardens yesterday. I love the contrasting purple of the alliums.
Laburnum alpinum (Fabaceae) 168 22
A deciduous tree 5 meters (rarely 6) high, with usually a short, sturdy trunk. Leaves trifoliolate, leaflets oval or obovate, deep green, Racemes pendulous, slender, 10 to 15 centimeters long, carrying numerous golden-yellow flowers
Native mainly of the southern Alps, but also occurring wild in the northern Apennines, N.W. Yugoslavia, and southern Czechoslovakia. It is found in damper places than the common laburnum and is not confined to limestone soils.
Laburnum anagyroides (Fabaceae) 118 20
Laburnum anagyroides (common laburnum, golden chain or golden rain) is a species in the subfamily Faboideae and genus Laburnum.
It is native to Central and Southern Europe.
The plant grows and flowers in damp and mild habitats, especially in the calcareous soils of Southern Europe.
The plant is a small deciduous tree or large shrub up to 7 meters tall. It has smooth bark, dark green spreading branches and pendulous and pubescent twigs. The leaves are generally trifoliate and oval with long petioles, smooth on the upperside and hairy on the underside.
Laburnum anagyroides blooms in late spring with pea-like, yellow flowers densely packed in pendulous racemes 10–25 cm long. The flowers are golden yellow, sweet-scented, and typically bloom in May.

laburnum, (genus Laburnum), genus of two species of poisonous trees and shrubs belonging to the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family (Fabaceae). The wood of Scotch, or alpine, laburnum (Laburnum alpinum) has a striking greenish brown or reddish brown hue and takes a good polish. It is ideal for cabinetmaking and inlay and was at one time the most prized timber in Scotland. Golden chain (L. anagyroides) is native to southern Europe and is cultivated as an ornamental for its attractive flowers.
The leaves of both species are composed of three oval leaflets and are borne on elongated stalks. The bright yellow flowers hang in pendulous racemes up to 25 cm (10 inches) in length and produce pods that are slender and compressed. All parts of laburnums are poisonous, especially the seeds, and occasionally the plants have proved fatal to cattle, though hares and rabbits are unharmed.
Or Golden Chain. With very little time to get out and take photos, I turn to subjects in my not very big garden. There is always something to catch my eye (and I don't have to carry my camera very far).

Laburnum anagyroides (Fabaceae) 108 19
Laburnum anagyroides, the common laburnum, golden chain or golden rain, is a species in the subfamily Faboideae, and genus Laburnum. It is native to Central and Southern Europe.
The plant grows and flowers in damp and mild habitats, especially in the calcareous soils of Southern Europe.
The plant is a small deciduous tree or large shrub up to 7 meters tall.
Laburnum anagyroides blooms in late spring with pea-like, yellow flowers densely packed in pendulous racemes 10–25 cm long. The flowers are golden yellow, sweet-scented, and typically bloom in May.
The seeds are legumes with large numbers of black seeds that contain cytisine, an alkaloid extremely poisonous to humans as well as goats and horses, especially when not ripe. However, some wild animals such as hares and deer can feed on them without any problems, and because of this, the plant is believed to have magic properties in some regions.
All parts of the plant contain cytisine and are poisonous if consumed.
Laburnum anagyroides is cultivated as an ornamental tree.
