Driving down West Main late this morning, I was struck by this stunning tree with its white flowers against the deep-blue sky.
Once again, I have no idea of the name of this type of tree.
I took several photos.

Most interesting factoid, the Catalpa is the sole source of food for the catalpa sphinx moth, and the caterpillar is a prized bait for anglers.
You've outdone yourself this

My Brother in law and sister
My Brother in law and sister have two of these in their front yard in Byron ,and I am sure they would be happy to give them to you. They are pretty and aromatic when they bloom in late spring, but what a mess after that. Those pods drop off as well as the large leaves, and are a full time job in the fall.
