Try this

 

[oldoakman]

I'm waiting for a certain Canadian to see this.

 

[Waldo]

Someone who perhaps likes legos?

 

[oldoakman]

Yeah, I believe so, Wonder where he is? I think we need to let him have this one.

 

[robinia]

Ooooo I know!!'
Yellowood!!!

 

[mrtree]

Nope

 

[robinia]

That was a joke btw.
I know- very subtle, just like all Canadians really.

I'll go with my namesake, Robinia: Lanky, thorny, usually rotten, seldomly appreciated or tolerated.

 

[mrtree]

do you know which species?

 

[robinia]

I've gotta go R. pseudoacacia.
I was given a lob ball.

[mrtree]

Why not Hispida?

 

[oldoakman]

Flower color.

 

[mrtree]

Correct

 

[mrtree]

Note the rose

 

[oldoakman]

Can't say that I can. Must be very subtle.

 

[JD3000]

Rose in leaf and bloom implies a different latitude if the pic is recent?

 

[robinia]

Why not Hispida?

R. hispida is a shrub, yes?

 

[mrtree]

Robinia hispida is the rose locust with purple flowers so this is R. pseudoacacia. hispida I have seen 50 foot tall so not a shrub.

 

[robinia]

So you're saying this is Robinia × margarettiae (R. hispida × R. pseudoacacia) ?

I had to google it.

 

[mrtree]

No Robinia pseudoacacia
