I thought I'd post a few pictures of some late spring blooming trees.
Some are blooming today, some from a week or two ago.
All are in a little too much shade under a high canopy of oaks, but bloom OK nonetheless.
#1 is stewartia rostrata. Blooms about a week earlier than s. pseudocamellia here. Picture is from today.
#2 is cladrastis kentukea Perkins Pink. It's just at the end of his season, so bloom is a little ragged.
#3 is chionanthus virginica.
#4 is aesculus x carnea Ft McNair.
#5 is aesculus pavia.
Most of these guys would bloom more spectacularly with more sun, I presume.
I've seen some aesculus x carnea in particular which can be spectacular with dense bloom.
