| leaf--what is the leaf complexity and arrangement in this species? | |
|
|
 |
| Aesculus pavia has large terminal buds... | ...that in Spring develop into large, showy inflorescences. The typical color of the calyx and corolla in this species is pink... |
 |
 |
| ...however, in the Hill Country we have a yellow variety of this species... | ...called var. flavescens (the pink variety is var. pavia) |

| Because we have two varieties, we sometimes find hybrids with intermediate flower color like this one! | Aesculus pavia has large fruits. |
