The best I can say for this is that it will remind me when the golden rain tree blooms. John brought me this inflorescence from golden rain tree yesterday, and I dropped it into vase with wood poppy foliage (where a stem of butterfly weed had been). That wood poppy foliage has lasted....how long?....way over a week. The two horizontal branches of this flowering stem need to be reoriented to turn this into a satisfying "arrangement," but I'd rather start all over again tomorrow!
