The tree. This is the mystery tree or a watercolor sketch from memory of the tree...a very odd upright tree with candleabra branching. the only ones i have seen are very tall 30 feet or so. I have only seen two of them...well one lonely one in front of Bobbys BBQ on hwy 1 between Aiken and Augusta...good BBQ if you decide to go by and look at the tree and a grove no an alle they line a farmhouse driveway on 78 on the way to Summerville when I teach at People Places and quilts...anyone know what it it??? Only blooms on the ends of the branches... Posted by Picasa

Are they Bradford Pears? http://www.cdr3.com/bradford. They are the tree that I think of with those upright branches. They would probably look like your sketch before they blossom, which is any time now.

Looks more like a Paulownia to me. I have one and very few trees have blue flowers. When the leaves come they shuld be large and heart shaped.Penny in South Australia
