Just as we were crossing the road, I meet this glorious Cigar Tree (at least that's what I think it is!!).
A wonderful tree that literally stopped me in my tracks! And it happened as I was at the Zebra crossing . This was in London but rest assured, I had sufficient time to stay safely back at the traffic signal and appreciate this tree.
I just had to wait and capture the lovely foliage and long green pods almost like festoons decorating it.
Catalpa speciosa belongs to the Bignonicaceae family (same as my previous tree Waras) and is said to be native to certain parts of the US.
Its a pleasure to know a place for its trees besides usual attractions like museums, monuments and so on.
I am sure you will agree with me!!
