Re: Guess this tree . . .

Hello,

This is Lula Alvarez, from Mallorca, Spain, we have three paulownias in our garden that we planted last spring, they are doing fine and we expect them to flower within a month. Here is an image of one of them last August. the other image is in a street in a town nearby with paulownias in full bloom, taken last March.  Quite an espectacle!  
Great forum! Best, Lula

Hey Dana -

Yes, it is indeed Paulownia.  These flower buds haning on all winter
really make this tree stand out during this time, don't they.  Here at
my office (where I am known as the resident 'botanist'), several
non-gardeners have asked me about a tree they see not far away from
our building, noticing for the first time that this tree is different.

Here is the page for this tree on the gimcw web site:
