Spring Flowers...Bridal Veil...

This is another old standby...Bridal Veil...it's been around for as long as I can remember...it's a shrub that gets full of these blooms and the branches droop from the load of blooms... though I wonder if I've gotten some mixed up as these look alot like some type of berry bloom...hhhmmm???

Catalpa Trees in June...

The catalpa trees in our area bloom in June...they are older than I and are fast growing and tall...the blooms don't last long and they fall rapidly...         

The blooms grow in bunches and sometimes the whole bunch will fall at the same time...
