I was half lit when I saw this tree coming out of a tour of Sam Adams in Boston. My brother-in-law took the pics with his cell phone. I hope these are good enough for an ID.

Thanks!

Yes indeed.

Thanks for having enough sobriety to get "whole plant" and "leaf/stem closeup" imagery. Cheers!

I have this in my front yard actually. I never noticed it without the flowers in bloom though.

Thanks guys!

Neefmeister, a couple of years ago I was at the only bar in Boston where you can sip a Sam Adams and see his grave at the same time. Kind of creepy, but also kind of fun.

At least you went to the bar for the beer...

Sam is buried at the Granary Burial Ground right in the North End along with dozens of other famous Bostonians (including the 5 who died in the Boston Massacre).

I think one of them was Crispus Attucks.

I'm afraid the freedom trail turned into more of a pub crawl. Hey, it was a very warm day!
