Cladrastis lutea,Kentucky Yellowwood or American Yellowwood.

We've been to Enköping (Sweden) today, after shopping and lunch we took a cup of coffee at a very special place. In the garden we took our coffee under a big tree with very beautiful white flowers. The owner of this place told use the swedish name of this tree, Gulved (cladrastis lutea).
