I love this tree at RHS Harlow Carr which has bright green leaves and lovely flowers. I have no idea what it is though.  |

Catalpa tree  Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost President: Orchid Society of Northern Nevada Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| there's southern and northern Catalpa. and they look very similar. here's what i found about the differences. i can never distinguish between 2, except when in the southern US you'll see southern catalpa most likely. http://www.carolinanature.com/... here's some posts of Catalpa pics from UK - the northern hardy type. It looks similar to yours. http://wildflowerfinder.org.uk... i love the purple spotting on yours, i think less spotting with almost white flower is more common. |

| According to a couple of web sites the catalpa at Harlow Carr is C. bignonioides. |

| Thanks! I'll see if RHS Harlow Carr can give me the species name. |
