Under The Peanutbutter Tree

There are 3 of these in the front yard. Seriously they are called a peanut-butter tree ( https://henryehooper.blog/trees-peanut-butter-tree/ ). It is flowering currently and there is a jasmine flavor in the air. Seriously, rubbing the leaves together, Skippy peanut-butter immediately comes to mind. I also pulled out my lensbaby SOL45 when I took Riley for a walk this morning.

Sounds very intriguing! I don't normally associate the smell of jasmine with peanut butter! Nice shot.

Excellent b&w! Love the textures and bokeh.

Great texture and bokeh. I love plants with fragrance and especially ones with surprising fragrances. I have a big rose bush in my garden that has very mildly scented flowers but, when it rains, the foliage gives off the odour of green apples.

Love the textures and light in this shot. The tree sounds like a neat thing to have in your yard.

@olivetreeann @gardencat @eudora @marlboromaam Thank you so much. I am truly loving the green of Oregon. There is so much as compared to Arizona's high desert.

@gardencat What an interesting rose bush, do you happen to know the variety?

Awesome effect. I always love wood and bark photos.

@joysabin Yes, it is Rose Eglantine, also known as sweet briar rose and is a heritage rose. But I should warn you that it is a large shrub and has been declared ‘invasive’ as it spreads by underground suckers. It can be controlled by vigorous pruning but, if you miss a year of pruning, you will have some catching up to do, or you might feel like the prince in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty movie, trying to cut your way through the protective hedge.

Love the focus and light.

@gardencat Thank you for the name. I guess that there's always a catch....

@ljmanning @mastermek @k9photo Thank you a great deal. I also found out that the fruit is not so edible.

Fabulous b&w capture.
