The Chestnut mystery.

I found a tree that intrigued me.

Some kind of chestnut, but not the "everyday" kind you see here. A search online suggested that it's a Rödblommig hästkastanj. Or in eng, Red horse-chestnut. Never seen them before. It also said "common in Swedish gardens". But I don't think so. Could be tho that maybe I just haven't been in the right gardens.

Anyway. Before this one, I've only seen the ones that had white blossoms. Horse-chestnut I think. Would be nice to see a real Chestnut tree tho. The eatable kind. This city is just one the edge of their "comfort zone". I'm told that they like to live in zone 1-2. And this place is 2-3. So I guess it's not impossible at least.
