Very cool story from the wild world of, well, the Wild:

One rare tree specimen in Ireland is proving that it’s never too late to try something new. Some 90 years after being planted on an estate outside of Belfast, a Goat Horn Trees [sic], native to China, is flowering its pale, aromatic blossoms for the very first time ever. Sadly though, it’s attempt to find another tree with which to reproduce will likely be in vain as there’s only one more like it in the whole country.

Sad little tree.

Here’s some more information on Carrierea calycinea, and a nice pic of the tree’s flowers:
