A Curious Tree
Thought it was strange to see this tree blooming in September. Even stranger to me was to see it's long seed pods fully developed and in their drying stages. For some reason I thought the seeds would come after the flower? Just shows you what I know about this tree that is growing in the park. Nothing!
In Need Of an ID
Searching my limited Oklahoma Tree book turned up no clues. Had the same results from google. So if any of you happen to know it's name please comment. Thanks.
should be a type of blooming locust tree - perhaps a purple robe locust.
ReplyDeleteif you've gotten recent rains, that might have spurred the 'spring' resurgence. the last couple of late summers/falls, if we had rain, our ornamental pear tree would burst into bloom all over again.
Thanks Tex.
DeleteWe have had rains(about 12 days ago). As you I suspect this to be some sort of ornamental locust. If I could just come up with one with leaves that matched my pic. I do like the late summer flowers that are being produced. Helpful info you provided!
Wait, I know this one, it's, it's, it's a tree! LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry Parker, no help from me(did you expect anything more?) Nice colors though in the photos.
Three it's! Man I can see you were giving it your best shot! LOL
DeleteCan't help you with identification, but I have seen trees in several other countries with pods, a little larger than these, which were beautifully and artfully decorated with various designs.
ReplyDeleteWith all the hybrids developed in todays time it's no wonder we have a time recognizing the plants and trees. Bet the larger seed pods would be a sight to see with an artist's touch of color applied!
DeleteTexas bush bean tree... Everything is big in Texas!
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see the new blooms along side the beans from earlier in the year.
