I like the Syringa thing too! My Mum used to called purple beech 'copper beech', and as a child, I could never understand that, because I could see that the green stuff (and we had a huge hedge if it in the garden) was copper in winter. The purple stuff is a funny caramel colour initially, so perhaps that's what she meant.
Every time I see purple beech in late spring, it reminds me of her
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
The Choisya Ternata is called Mexican Orange Blossom. Lovely citrus aroma. The leaves are 7 pointed star shaped on the Choisya Ternata 'white dazzler' so its not one of those, if that's any help.
