Cassia Fistula

I spotted this beauty at the Gulf Gate Library.  It's fragrance was wonderful and a mass of bumble bees were humming around it. I didn't know what it was so after researching I found out it is a Cassia Fistula.

I grabbed some of the seed pods.  Let me tell you...

What's inside smells something like sour tar.

I planted them anyway and now have seedlings.

I have also found they are a host for butterflies.  This is a bonus as I want to start butterfly gardening.
