"Laburnum, sometimes called golden chain or golden rain, is a genus of two species of small trees in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae. The species are Laburnum anagyroides—common laburnum and Laburnum alpinum—alpine laburnum. They are native to the mountains of southern Europe from France to the Balkans." (Wiki)
The laburnum blossom has appeared in the car park. The tree is right in the middle so the lovely colour shows up well, but better on a lovely sunny day. Which it wasn't today.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
The laburnums are in bloom in van Dusen Gardens. There's a path that's lined with these trees and it's beautiful this time of year.
Laburnum used to be called "Golden Shower Tree," but that means something very different today. If they called it "The Golden Shower Walk" instead of "Laburnum Walk," there probably wouldn't be a lot of people wanting to stroll through it. :-)
Goldregen (Laburnum), auch Bohnenbaum, Goldrausch oder Gelbstrauch genannt, ist eine Pflanzengattung aus der Unterfamilie der Schmetterlingsblütler (Faboideae) in der Familie der Hülsenfrüchtler (Fabaceae). Der Gemeine Goldregen (Laburnum anagyroides) ist aufgrund seiner gelben Blütenpracht ein sehr beliebter Zierstrauch. Er wurde 2012 zur Giftpflanze des Jahres gewählt. Der Indische Goldregen gehört jedoch zur Gattung Cassia.

One of my favourite trees (if you could admit to having a favourite tree) is the Laburnum - the trailing yellow flowers each spring make the tree stand out after all the others have lost their blossom. Luckily we have one right outside our house - and the town where I live does have lots of them all around.
From this angle the yellow flowers look like corn on the cob just hanging around.
Laburnum Avenue was part of the later phase of development from 1898 onwards.
These streets tell the story of Wallsend’s own aspirational artisans who spent their earnings in their own cooperative society. They were families who got together and put their dividends and savings towards providing mortgage loans so they could their own homes.

We visited Bodnant gardens en-route to Anglesey and though most of the rhododendrons and azaleas had already finished, we were just at the right time for the laburnum arch.
The Laburnum tree, ones of natures spring time beauties. The trailing yellow flowers wave gently in the breeze. Nature really is spectacular.

This Famous Laburnum Arch is at its best at Bodnant Gardens now . It's absolutly amazing and the capture does not do it justice.

Camera cost £1, as did the roll of film.
Taken for the Sunny 16 podcasts Film of the month project. We started with Agfa Vista because it's cheap and good. Enough.
Laburnum (commonly called Golden Chain) is a genus of two species of small trees in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae, Laburnum anagyroides (common laburnum) and L. alpinum (Alpine laburnum). They are native to the mountains of southern Europe from France to the Balkan Peninsula. Some botanists include a third species, Laburnum caramanicum, but this native of southeast Europe and Asia Minor is usually treated in a distinct genus Podocytisus, more closely allied to the brooms.
They have yellow pea-flowers in pendulous racemes 10–30 cm (4–12 in) long in spring, which makes them very popular garden trees. In L. anagyroides the racemes are 10–20 cm (4–8 in) long, with densely packed flowers; in L. alpinum the racemes are 20–30 cm (8–12 in) long, but with the flowers sparsely along the raceme.
The leaves are trifoliate, somewhat like a clover, the leaflets typically 2–3 cm (¾–1¼ in) long in L. anagyroides and 4–5 cm (1½–2 in) long in L. alpinum.
Most garden specimens are of the hybrid between the two species, Laburnum × watereri (Voss's Laburnum), which combines the longer racemes of L. alpinum with the denser flowers of L. anagyroides; it also has the benefit of low seed production (Laburnum seed can poison anyone who mistakes the seeds for peas).
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, diarrhea is very severe and at times the convulsions are markedly tetanic. The main toxin in the plant is Cytisine, a nicotinic receptor agonist. It is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Buff-tip.
The heart-wood of a laburnum may be used as a substitute for ebony or rosewood, very hard and a dark chocolate brown, with a butter-yellow sapwood.
D16631. The Laburnum Arch at the beautiful National Trust gardens at Bodnant near Conway in North Wales. If ever there was a photographer's paradise, this must be it!
The best time to visit is mid to late May as that is when the Laburnum Arch is in full bloom. I was there at the beginning of May which is a bit early but, because it had been a warm Spring, it was coming into flower at the far end. Later in the month the whole arch would have been a mass of brilliant yellow flowers from one end to the other.
