My New Tree

I got these pictures off the internet. Mine does not look like this right now. It was neglected. My Mother in Law bought it for me at a local nursery when we went looking for some Agapanthus  and Day Lilly's for her. She bought it for me for 10 dollars and it was in a 2 1/2 gallon pot. It was a steal. It is called a Gold Medallion Tree aka cassia leptophylla

This is what the flower looks like, beautiful isn't it.

So pretty.

This is mine. I have not planted it yet. Still looking for a spot for it.

That is why it is leaning against the fence. Here is some info on the tree that I pulled off the internet for all to read.
