You guys have been very helpfull with my fist question, maybe you can guess this tree(?) too that is growing in our backyard.

It is right now about 8 ft high, has very large oval leaves, I would say the size of a hand and it is blooming right now! The flowers are very big and all white. The flowers have a lemon kind smell. The bees are totally carzy about the flowers!

If I would know how to post a picture I could do that too...*blush*

It might be a young Catalpa tree. They are also known as bean trees because of the long seed pods. Here is a photo of mine.
