Chitalpa tashkentensis |
With its giant relative, the Catalpa tree, in sight of it in the gardens, the Chitalpa tashkentensis, is now putting on its own stunning floral display. A hybrid of Chilopsis and Catalpa, this much smaller, more rounded tree, is covered in frilly pink flowers with yellow throats, and has caused a great interest amongst visitors to the gardens. (To compare the flowers of its relative, refer to blog entry 11th July 2012, 'Catalpa speciosa and Impatiens tinctoria').
