It's Easter again, And we cannot forget Brothers and sisters, And all that was said. So practise your pipes, Stand proud in the wet, For the eyes of the world are upon you. Christy Moore, ‘Smoke and Strong Whiskey” (1991). #Catalpa #Fenian #SpéirGorm #WesternAustralia

The Declaration of the Republic was proudly on show at this afternoon’s #Catalpa celebrations in the City of Rockingham, though I think I may have offended the US Consul when, having been told that the story highlighted the value of maritime law, I suggested she tell that to the drowned Venezuelans.

Gorgeous blooms on a large & healthy Indian bean tree aka cigartree or Southern catalpa.

It prefers moist soil with full sun. It's easily raised from seeds which germinate early in the first season. It multiplies readily from cuttings. This tree is fairly free from fungal diseases & has few insect enemies. Which is why many landscapers love to add it.
The wood of these trees are brittle/hard, but doesn't rot easily; it's used for fence posts & railroad ties.
