I found these flowers on a tree over by the pond. I'm not a tree expert but don't remember seeing a tree with flowers like this before. This was in an area that is maintained by the city so they might be a naturally occurring tree or it might have been planted there. I'd be thrilled if someone could identify it .
@365projectorgheatherb I found this:
âThe Northern catalpa has a taller trunk with vertically furrowed bark; the Southern catalpa is more squat and has bark that exfoliates in scales or flakes. The Southern catalpa has more flowers while in bloom, but they are slightly smaller than those of the Northern catalpa.â Sounds like one of those things where youâd have to see both of them before knowing which one you had.
