Comments (12)Tithonia Fiesta del Sol: When in bloom (soon!) it will attract lots of butterflies. I've grown the larger Torch version, but never this one, which should max out at 3 ft. I hope so, because it's in a pot. Flowers are bright, vivid orange....See More
10 years agoThe Catalpas are in bloom here now. There are several of these wonderfully scented trees nearby. The air smells heavenly.

Oh yes, there will be beans, and thank goodness, they aren't on our property. The house next door that has been empty and uncared for in the last 9 years, had just one huge mature tree. But is these last 9 years Catalpas have come up all over and are now bearing flowers. Love their perfume and the flowers, but the huge leaves and the beans travel well come fall. Catalpas around here are considered junk trees. There are 3 non bearing ornamental Catalpas on that property that anyone would consider to be dead.
This is one of the 3 ornamental Catalpa there. A short, about 12', rounded crown tree. Still the extra large leaves, but no flowering. The trunks on all 3 are split like this and mostly hollow, but they leafed out beautifully again this year.
10 years agoI just saw a balloon flower has bloomed in a place about five feet from where I planted the original plant!! I didn't see the original plant and not sure it's even there any more.
