Now how come this isn't a weeping form like Kin pictured?

It does, the branches sweep the ground.

Also Kin's is in full leaf so it hides the branches. Mine is in full flower so the skeleton is exposed.

Was this a recent shot? I have never been this early to Filoli.

Sorry Bootandall, didn't mean to ignore you. It is a stunning tree, And a famous one too. It even has a rug named after it. LOL. So true. http://www.karastan.com/carpet_detail_print.asp?carpetid=5973&carpet_name=Filoli%20Gardens

And an interesting story about it too! I think it was the 1970s when a fired employee snuck back into the ground with a chain saw. He girdled both Elms all the way around!!! DO you believe it? How sick is that? But the trees didn't skip a beat and lived. Today you can see the damage.
