Thank you for sharing this stunning photo of the arch at Bodnant Garden. When I saw the photo, it took me back to one of the numerous trips I made to the UK 10 years ago. My husband is British, so we enjoy visiting the many gardens when we visit the UK, and somewhere in our travels I saw the Laburnam in bloom. It is simply amazing and something I haven't seen in the US. I encourage you to add the photo to the plants database.

Thank you for your comments. However, the arch is not the famous one at Bodnant, it is at the Dorothy Clive Garden in Staffordshire. There are several others in the UK.
I have added it to the database (L. anagyroides)

I agree. It a lovely and inviting scene. Thank you for sharing the photo. This way we can enjoy what we would not have an opportunity to see in person.
