This BLAUGLÖCKENBAUM (Bluebell tree) from China stands in a

park near the St. Alban Tor, where we spent some time yesterday.

A few weeks ago there was quite a story about this beautiful old

tree.

The Department of Parks and Recreation decided that the tree must

be removed from the park, but when the STADTGÄRTNER ( head

gardener or curator) saw the unusual growth habit of the old tree, he

simply refused to cut it down - THREE CHEERS TO THE MAN!!
