Catalpa ovata

Unused card with similar-theme pre-printed postage.  Captioned in Korean and with the scientific name.  Catalpa ovata, the yellow or Chinese catalpa, is a pod-bearing tree native to China, typically reaching heights between 20 and 30 feet (6 and 9 m). The creamy white flowers with distinctly yellow tinging bloom in July and August …. its fruits are very narrow, foot-long pods.  Although native to the more temperate provinces within China, C. ovata is also cultivated in North America and Europe, and has become a parent of Catalpa × erubescens with the American species Catalpa bignonioides.  It is commonly used to make the undersides of qin.  So we finally got to the good news.  Grade: 1
