Catalpa bignonioides syn.Catalpa catalpa, Catalpa syringaefolia

This was the flower of the mysterious tree!

Still a mystery to me I'm afraid! How about @martindodd @driftwood @richard.spicer.7906 @junebensted @linfoster @cjh123 have a look and see what they think?

Hi @clarkey231 , looking at the flowers, and the distinct heart shaped leaves, i would say this is an Indian Bean Tree (Catalpa bignonioides) - flowers are very orchid like, amazing! They should soon be followed by londer bean seed pods!

Looks like it's in the database already so I've linked it for you. Tagging @justin @linfoster in case they want to see what it is too 😀

(Londer? Typo - i meant 'long')

Thanks very much, been bugging us for ages!

What a legend 👏👏👏 nice one Rich 🙌👍 @richard.spicer.7906

It is stunning! Cannot say that i have ever seen it before!

Wish i got closer because the detail in the flower is amazing.

I will try although i have never seen any seed pods.
