An interesting sight on our visit to Hoyt Arboretum on Mothers Day May 8, 2016

Patty and I went for a hike at Hoyt Arboretum.  It is part of Washington Park.  We walked through the Arboretum and went in the direction of the Japanese Garden and Rose Garden.  It was a nice walk, but it was Mothers Day and the weather was nice.  That meant we were there with several thousand visitors.  So we had a nice walk down the hill to the Japanese Garden, then back up through a couple of different trails in the arboretum.  We came across a tree I had not seen before.  It looked like some one had littered the ground with pieces of white toilet paper.  Instead, it was the white blossoms of the Dove tree - and the blossoms are just white leaves.  I know there is a name for this, but just cannot think of it.
