I discovered this pretty tree a few days ago around sunset in this church garden.
My plant App identified it as a Desert Willow.
Not a true willow but in the catalpa family.
There was even a monarch enjoying one of the blossoms!
I just left the photos with the evening light.
I liked how they looked at twilight.
Have a Blessed Day!

Such an interesting tree.
Are those fruits it forms behind the flowers, or are those additional flower buds forming?
I think it looks like more blossoms from my photo. I’ll go back and look sometime this week. It’s very close to my house and I love walking thru that garden. It’s so peaceful!
Look at you! Waves hello!
I love this tree, especially the bell-shaped flowers hanging their heads. I can see they are a very favorite of the monarchs. You even caught two monarch caterpillars! I hope they form their pupa there, so you can watch the emergence of it in the full cycle!
How exciting.
Back to the tree, it is gorgeous and perfect #TreeTuesday pictures. Thanks for the reminder!

Beautiful tree, Violet. Love this shot.
Thank you! It had rained earlier and knocked down some of those blossoms. I always love to see flowers scattered around like that! 😊
Similar flowers on the Catalpa ...
Do you have Catalpa where you live?

Excelente, el avistamiento de la mariposa monarca. Es útil para los registros zoológicos. aliriera
¡Gracias!¡Siempre es emocionante para mí cuando veo una mariposa!
I never saw a tree like that. I really love those pretty blooms!
Beautiful, It feels so much like Spring in the picture but I imagine it is summer.
This tree is not a true willow but the hanging branches seem to greet us like a willow.
I say it is a very humble flowering desert tree. 🌳
