I was inspired by Becky In Portugal’s post I Love Tree to find out about this beautiful golden tree I saw blooming over Christmas vacation in San Diego’s Old Town. It’s the only one like it on the parade grounds and it’s the only tree I’ve ever seen like it. When I tried to look it up the nearest name I could come up with was Golden Trumpet Tree. However those bloom in the spring before they leaf out. Here’s some detail images. I’d welcome any ones guess or expertise.

Those seed pods make me think something in the pea family

Bees seem to find it tasty
