The white flowers stand out amid the deeper mature green that trees display in August. An unusual sight that I can't remember seeing on Blacka before. Second flowering itself is not a rare thing but in this case may say something about the unusual summer. Rowan is of the rose family which in garden varieties commonly comes again later into autumn. But the Bramley apple in my garden also produced striking flowers this year in late July alongside the swelling fruits. Here on Blacka's Rowan the flower is on the newer pale green growth with red fruits on the darker leaves nearby.
In some years, drier ones, this tree becomes heavy with red fruit near the start of July and soon the leaves become discoloured. This summer has been quite different, with the constant rainfall keeping the greenery well beyond normal and the berries appearing later.
