And, in July and August, this is what the flowers grow into.

And, if you live in the United States, send some good thoughts to Florida, in the path of a killer storm.
The power of nature is about to be shown to us again.
Admittedly, I am a tree ignoramus, but I don't recall ever seeing one of these.
ReplyDeleteThey're native in the Eastern States but they seem to irrupt in patches. They have an interesting symbiotic relationship with a primary parasite. Some neighborhoods have many, some few.
DeleteHow gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSigh. I SO love trees!
ReplyDeleteI love how green the tree is. Thanks for sharing! Passing on prayers to Florida. Storms are scary.
ReplyDeleteOne of the old farmhouses up on the main road has a beautiful catalpa growing along the roadside.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers grow into what? I'm slow tonight.
ReplyDeleteThey grow into the pods you see hanging from the trees.
DeleteGorgeous! We don't have those down in Virginia but I wish we did!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this tree. Then again I'm an illiterate when it comes to trees and plants and flowers. 😀
ReplyDeleteTwo of my friends live in Florida. One of them travelled to Atlanta, the other one staying put in Florida due to heavy traffic and they just had a baby a month ago. I am worried. Prayers.
The tree looks wonderful waiting for the flowers. Sending prayers for Florida!
ReplyDeletePls do post a pic of this tree when in full bloom; it sounds interesting!!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this tree. Looks great and it would sure look beautiful with flowers. My prayers to florida people.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I never saw this kind of a tree, sad to hear about the situation in florida - my prayers for those who are living there...
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence. I've been posting about this tree this week, too. I saw the long pods on it as I was walking through our city park on Saturday night. No wonder they also call it a bean tree.
