Here’s a closeup of it from last year when it was flowering.

Beautiful. I just planted a weeping variety in my backyard.

Not sure of the cultivar, I don’t think I even had a label when I got it.

Here it is today. Ignore the weeds.

From Michael Dirr, in Manual of Woody Landscape Plants-

‘Lady Catherine- To my knowledge the first weeping selection of Carolina Silverbell; arching-spreading-weeping habit; had only seen photos by Dr. Ken Tilt, the introducer, who named it after his daughter, Catherine; I begged him for a plant and he said he was building stock; then during a walk around the gardens of Coach Dooley I see the plant in a large container; I ask… where did they come from?… Coach says your friend at Auburn… I replied… no longer.’

Lol what a nut.
