This beautiful Catalpa (some call it Catawba) tree is now in bloom. It is particularly full of blossoms this year. It grows at the edge of the Lupine meadow in a swampy wet area. This isn’t the best photo, but I wanted to show the size of the tree.
Here’s a close-up of the blossoms.. stunning

Hi Penny,
How come my Granny from Indiana used to only have a sip of “Catawba Pink” at dinner?
I’ve had some, it’s very sweet. Gawd forbid she should get drunk.
💗JA
