Flowering Tree - Desert Willow for #TreeTuesday

avatar
(Edited)


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.

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!

Thank you! It had rained earlier and knocked down some of those blossoms. I always love to see flowers scattered around like that! 😊

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!

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. 🌳
