Mine has buds. Must look at the old forum to see if it's later than last year when I asked the question. I think so.

I was thinking about last year's report just yesterday too. We've had flowers open on the very top for just over a week now.
Sadly some of the torrential downpours have knocked the flowers off so many are now on the lawn.

Ours is usually just starting to flower by this month but this year it's only got a very few leaves.
We thought it was dead for a while but maybe it's pulling itself together at last.

Only leaves at the moment - seems very late this year.

I didn't realise mine has already flowered. It's grown so big now and I hadn't looked at the very top which has several flowers. I checked the old forum and was surprised that it wasn't that much earlier last year. A matter of a few days. Thought it would be weeks.

Only just started flowering here in SW France, along with the summer Tamarix Most flowers have lasted much, much longer than usual, starting with the spring bulbs. As for the Angel's Fishing Rods (Dierama)..... They must have thought that they'd been transplanted to Ireland

It lives !
Our tree now has a full set of leaves albeit most are not yet fully formed. better late than never as it's a magnificent thing when in full leaf & bloom. I'd post a piccy if I could.

Oyrs is full of buds but a more mature tree about 10 minutes away is in full glorious flower.

Oh dear. I hope it catches up soon. Ours are in full leaf and laden with flowers over the top. I couldn't do photos before, so I stand no chance now.

The albizias have been phenomenal this summer, though as someone else said, now ours have grown so tall (they are 16/17 years old now) I need to be further away from them to fully appreciate their glory, or walking underneath to gain the full benfit of their fragrance. One is showing a definite thinning out of the flowers now with not many still to come. The other still has many flowers, but I don't think is far behind its neighbour. Perhaps they might last another couple of weeks which means they will have given a full two months of pleasure. They're such good value.

Sadly all flowers on the first tree have gone and the second has just a few rather poor specimens left.
They have been stunning and I'll look forward to it all happening again next summer.

Yours last much longer than ours here in the SW, Veem. I suspect drought gets to them just when they should be at their best. On the bright side, they self-sow, so always got new ones coming on.:-)
