Here is a tree from Paris that surprised me due to its shiny red leaves in mid May.
I always thought red leaves were seen as trees drop foliage in autumn.
Our guide could not help with its name. I hoped Google would help me with ID but as luck would have it...the tree name presented itself to me!!!

The Luxembourg Garden had a board next to this lovely tree.
So here's the Fagus sylvatica 'Atropunicea' L of the Fabaceae family (Beech)...a tree that bears new foliage that's red/copper/maroon .

Its wonderful to meet flora of the places we travel to and know the place via its plants. I am sure all of you will agree with me!!
I am joining Parul in her ThursdayTreeLove bloghop. Do head over to see fantastic trees from around the world. Better still, join in!
