The hermaphrodite [citation needed] flowers are white (yellow when desiccated), bell-shaped, 7–8 mm (1 ⁄ 4 – 5 ⁄ 16 in) in diameter, and flower from a reddish hanging panicle in autumn. [11] They are pollinated by bees, and have a mild sweet scent. [citation needed] Twigs are reddish-brown and abundantly foliose, and often have small ...
Flowering occurs between January and March and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody shortened spherical to barrel-shaped capsule 8–11 mm (0.31–0.43 in) long and 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) wide on a pedicel 2–6 mm (0.079–0.236 in) long and with the valves enclosed below the level of the rim.
One of the most prominent characteristics of B. versicolor is the presence of giant drooping flowers which hang upside down, which is where it gets its common name of Angel's Trumpet. The flowers are the largest of all Brugmansia at 300–510 mm (12–20 in) in length. They open first white, but then may age to turn peach, pink, apricot or ...

Catalpa ovata, the yellow catalpa [1] [5] or Chinese catalpa [1] (Chinese: 梓; pinyin: zǐ), is a pod-bearing tree native to China. Compared to C. speciosa , it is much smaller, typically reaching heights between 20 and 30 feet (6 and 9 m).
The trees grow to a height of 15–25 m (49–82 ft). The characteristic bark is smooth, powdery and greenish yellow, although new twigs are purple, flaking later to reveal the characteristic yellow. [4] It is one of the few trees where photosynthesis takes place in the bark. Straight, white spines grow from the branch nodes in pairs. The ...
The leaves are 4–15 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –6 in) long, five-lobed, with a thick covering of white scurfy down on both sides, but thicker underneath; this layer wears off 8 cm (3 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long, produced in early spring; they are dioecious, with male and female catkins on separate trees; the male catkins are grey with conspicuous dark red ...
