Thanks for showing us those Kedi. Interesting flowers, I think the red has to be the showier of the two. Perhaps you could get a pic of the trees in full leaf at some stage?  |

The white one is pretty but the red one is an eye-catcher.
We'll be back over in Florida in October so I'll get some pics then, guess the leaves will still be on.

I remember these trees but sorry I don't find them attractive ... the toilet brush flowers are nice but the trees are uninteresting. As Pete says, perhaps if you could get a picture with leaves on the trees they may be more photogenic.

I find them very interesting and somehow a bit spooky with that light-coloured bark. The Catalpa also looks so naked up into June before it gets its leaves and then it is gorgeous.

Due to the fact that I live in a very boring cool temperate climate I always find plants that flower with absolutely no leaves fascinating. ;D
