The genus, originally Pawlovnia
but now usually spelled Paulownia,
was named in honour of Queen Anna Pawlovna
of The Netherlands (1795–1865),
daughter of Tsar Paul I of Russia.
It is also called “princess tree”
for the same reason.

==================
.
.
CB…Citizen’s Band Radio
Handle…users radio name
to maintain a hidden identity.
My nickname or “handle”
was “Witchipoo”,
.
The social media in the 1970’s
in Downeast Maine…
and for the long haul truckers
…was the Citizen Band radio’s in cars
and in our homes.
Mine was in my living room
and I’d listen and chat while
painting or just listening…
you may remember the radio,
like the radio but two way !
My nickname or “handle”
was “Witchipoo”,
and it started a flurry of gifts of
another rage at the time,
Kitchen Witches.
.
.
After a visit to my house and seeing
the conglomeration of witches I’d
accumulated ….. some clever, some
cute and some very cheap and tacky…
she found a “classy” Kitchen Witch
with “real hair” and sent it to me…
it is still on my kitchen wall after all
these years.
