Fremontiana might not be the exact name of the tree I'm inquiring about, but it's a tree with beautiful purple/blue flowers.
If I'm not mistaken it has been discovered by General Fremont in California.
The tree can be seen in Union Square in San Francisco near the coffee shop.
Any ideas?

OK, never mind, I found it. How silly of me - it's called Fremontodendron and it's flowers are yellow, not purple/blue.

Sounds like a prehistoric scaly water-based bugaboo, a la Loch Ness Monster, infrequently sighted amongst the ruins of Drawbridge and a notoriously stinky landfill. We could start a tourist surge for Fremont if we keep insisting this is real, no?
