Ah, catalpas! One of a very few trees I can identify. I learned the name in junior high biology, when I had to collect leaves and possibly seeds from a bunch of different trees.
Before that, when I was in the lower single digits, I called the pods "tree seeds," which made the trees "tree-seed trees." Thus the function of the seeds and the trees was clearly laid out: each was to make the other. I don't think I was wrong.
