Trees from a distance

Like this?

no, i looked with some key words too, for about 15 minutes and didn't come up with it.

I saw that one too. Not close, except for the compound leaf. thanks for looking.

back at the same site tomorrow, I'll get a picture of it flowering, interesting.

 

[JeffL]

Did it have a kind of weird, striated grayish green bark? If so I bet its the same. Its not a locust. I've got a clue that should possibly make it pretty easy if you're up on your perennials.

 

[JeffL]

And X, they technically classify it as a shrub, and I saw size ranges from 6-16 feet tall in the descriptions.

 

[Frax]

Is it still Fabaceae Jeff?

 

[JeffL]

Correct. Its legume.

 

[JeffL]

Don't want to be a thread killer, it shares a common name with a similarly purple flowered perennial.

 

[robinia]

Amorpha fruticosa?

BTW: This is hilarious! While searching Fabaceae I found this:

I'm getting all horny and stuff.

 

[JeffL]

Rob got it! False indigo.

 

[robinia]

Clitoria littlemanintheboat

 

[JeffL]

This just got really awkward.

 

[robinia]

OK, here's one:

 

[Frax]

And just how did you come across that gem Robinia...midnight porn trolling! ha ha!

I never heard of that plant before. Who knew? But orchids, particularly Orchis sp. are named for human testicles.

Could have a whole secret stash of flower porn for yer private viewing pleasure and you could even flaunt it as your screen saver. Who would know your dirty secret!

Oh, and I'm not tree guessing this time 'cause I suck at your Eastern trees. Just wasting your bandwidth again.

OK that's enough. Going away quietly now...

Wow, isn't that cool. I see this plant yesterday for the first time, wonder what it is, get on tree buzz for a few minutes and the TFAD is the same thing.

yes, no doubt, saw the pictures on internet and I took some pictures on cell today too. Same exact plant. Cool.

Oh, Rob, the Clitoria flowers is absolutely awesome, yup, I agree with Tom; I'm gettin all horny and stuff. ha ha ha.

I'll bite, Carpinus caroliniana?

 

[zale]

half dead chlorotic crape myrtle?

 

[robinia]

Neither.

And it's not really half dead - photo taken in early leaf out.

 

[robinia]

Ah crap. I killed the thread.
