Hi Tom,
Sometimes this game goes into 'slow time' and other times it 'zips along'. I don't know why so you just have to understand that and if it's a slow time just wait and a response will come along ... the game kinda has a life of its own ... it keeps things in suspense....

I'll go with Albizia julibrissin - silk tree (aka Mimosa)

-Diane-
 
Albizia julibrissin ,

yeah, I was going to say that too.

But it likely won't be, so I said to myself, "why bother?".

The hard tropical ones have burned me out.

I think we are going to need some good old fashioned USA forest species to get things fired up again.
 
Diane, I was only goofing! Trying to solicit a response, though, so I guess it worked. A. julibrissin is a good guess, but incorrect. P. aquatica is also incorrect, TN.

Xman, these are just photos I happen to have. I apologize for the relative obscurity, but I thought that made it fun. Unlike the last tropical tree I posted, this tree is common in the US.

nay... one small clue, though... The first time I saw this tree I thought I was looking at A. julibrissin. Then I saw the flowers and realized I was wrong. Also, the larger ones get a large root flare which further differentiates them.

Hmmm... I didn't think this one would be that hard. I've seen alot of these trees in FL, and I'm pretty sure they do well in Southern parts of TX.

I'm not going to give the bloom color yet, but I will say that it is in the family leguminaceae.
