Can anyone identify the tree that this flower came from?

| Looks like an Iris blossom to me. Not a tree though. |

| I agree with Denninmi on this one! Catalpa flowers do resemble iris flowers from pictures, though. Since this was assumed to come from a tree with branches and not a mass of foliage on the ground, catalpa makes the most sense. John |

| Thank you so much. You'll are spot on. |
|
| Yes, definitely catalpa / zero chance of being an iris. |
|
| dirtman, although the colouring and overall impression might look similar a look at the structure shows the differences. Irises have 6 separate petals. Catalpa has its petals fused into a floral tube, not separate. |

| That is a Catalpa tree blossom. |
|
| Learn something new everyday. I'm (obviously) not very familiar with Catalpa. Thanks. |
|
| And that's why some tree nerds like me insist to sticking a few of those 'dirty' trees on our property. LOL. Gorgeous aren't they? |
