Horse chestnut flowers, white and red

Horse chestnut flowers, white and red

Flowers on two horse chestnuts. One, by the Severn at Bridgnorth, with the standard white candelabrums. The other was by the extensive garden behind the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford on Avon, the variant red-flowered form. The fine mature tree was possibly planted when the house was the home of the once best-selling author and self-publicist Marie Corelli.
