I keep stumbling across this in my research. 🧐 I’m certain I’ve seen one, but wouldn’t recognize it and say—“oh, that’s a lovely catalpa!” The best, most perfect tree I’ve seen is at the airport Marriott in ATL. I was obsessed with it last year before the free tulip poplar. Lemme find a pic.

One blooming in my childhood BFF’s garden in BC. Also 7b…

Also c/o serviceberry… small trees… flowers in spring and berries in Fall

I was never able to properly identify it! And yes, I am that woman who’s outside the airport hotel in ATL, obsessing abt their perfect trees before we leave for a trip to MX

I’m laughing… I’m obsessed with seeing a new plant & then identifying it even when not something that grows in my zone. I think I just like knowing things 😳😂

Frankly, I can’t wait for the Australians to begin posting their gardens! You know it’s gonna be fun and wild!!

A professor

My brother & his wife live there & bought a property recently owned by professor specializing in butterflies… I’ve demanded pics! 😂😊

Please please share! I’m afraid I lost my best Aussie friend (who’s also into flowers) when I abandoned twitter. I need to email him and let him know abt 🦋 gardening

Will do! 🥰

We are the same person! I swear to gods! I realized today, as I was getting out of the car (after work)—what was it that I needed to research? Which plant? Woodpod purslane. It simply shows up in my herb boxes every year—beneath a cluster of sunflowers (they may or may not show)

Lol!!!! God help anyone who wanted to get a word in edgewise if we are talking gardens 😂 It’s edible I think… one I looked up bc it grows here too though I never had one that flowered!

I think you’re right!
