You're welcome, Ioannis. Ah yes, the location for your tree is not ideal. I wonder if the one I spotted is old enough to bloom? Hope so.
Ioannis
Thank you Suzmonk. Indeed, there is a big Paulownia a few meters away. 5m high with beautiful violet flowers. I didn't thought that this small plant was a young tree. But we will not see it bloom this one. It is between a corridor and a building and there is no place to let it grow, I believe they will cut it or hopefully plant it elsewhere. I thing they have to be 7 years old to see the first flowers.

I met this plant recently, too, Ioannis. A Project Noah friend, surekha, identified it for me. Can't wait to see it bloom!
