I've Got a Bet

This sunset beat anything I saw in the Midwest. Jim disagrees although he thinks this was pretty spectacular. Did anybody in Utah see this tonight? It was stunning. Ok, I have a bet with Jim. I won't tell you what it is right now, but I want to know what kind of tree this is. I've never seen one like it until today. It tickles my fancy with it's feminine style. Can anybody tell me what it is?

Red sky at night = sailor's delight. I didn't see it being that extreme up in SLC. The mountains on the east side of the valley sure were pretty, though. I don't have a good view to the west to see great sunsets. -Jess

That tree looks like a feathered hat. I've never seen anything like it either.

Love that sunset.

That plant is what they call a Royal Purple Smoke Bush or Smoke Tree. It is actually a pretty good drought tolerant tree once you get it going.

Who wins the debate?

Jim won -- I bet that Chelsey would jump all over this and would know what it was. I should have known you would be a good source, too! Dang -- and you're even in the same household.....
Thanks -- I love this tree.
