The goldenrain tree can be beautiful in spring and in autumn. This introductory photo was taken in June when the tree was in bloom. By autumn the blossoms have become lantern-like cinnamon colored pods. It is at this time I love the tree most. By the time winter is over, though, I’m not so happy with the tree. These photos will show you why.
Because I think these photos can be voted up and down, I have also numbered each one in the title so that if I mention a photo number to refer to you can find it in the title to see the right photo.
All of your photos were beautiful. The system would not allow me to comment on all. I will be back to try again.
Have you tried opening the post as an entire post and then reading it all the way down and commenting or responding to comments by going down the entire post at once instead of just right-clicking on the notifications? That works for me, but I’m on a desktop. I’ve never tried it on a phone. Which are you using?
I think it’s a very beautiful tree, especially when it’s blooming!

It can be beautiful at certain times of the year.
Good post, we don’t live in a perfect world but weeds are proof the ground is fertile
True, but not all weeds need really fertile ground to grow. I’m amazed at where some grow.
How beautiful is the wisdom of nature, it is great that you love it even though sometimes quite made busy too… Hehe…
So far nature has only hurt me once — in an earthquake. It was only my house that was hurt and I had some clean-up to do. I might not love nature so much if I’d lost my house in a fire, flood, or mudslide, but I’d probably still find the sky amazing.
I’m glad you always feel grateful!
I can usually find something to be thankful for if I look hard enough.
It sounds like it keeps you busy, clearing the yard of seedlings!
Yes, it does, but the tricky part is the seeds hide under shrubs and I sometimes don’t see them until they grow as tall as the shrubs. The acorns do the same thing, but they are usually easier to see and pick up before they sprout.
Deepizzaguy, I don’t like it in the winter and spring when its hundreds of seeds are germinating into new weed trees.
Wonderful images of the tree and why do not like it sometimes.
Nice photos of trees and leaves.
Thank you. It’s an interesting tree, but sometimes it’s a nuisance.
Wonderful pictures of your love/hate tree. We used to have a Mulberry tree that was beautiful most of the year but frankly disgusting when the berries ripened and fell.
When I was a child one of our neighbors had a mulberry tree, so I know what you mean. I don’t think they ever harvested the berries, but just let them fall on the ground. We didn’t have sidewalks back then. At least I don’t remember any.
