    Is this Robinia? I saw this plant in bloom when there were right time for Robinia. But it is still in bloom and last summer I remember flowers were very late. 19-21 leaflets with so strange apex at each.

    It looks like Robinia to me.

    Not unusual to see some flowering of pink kinds after June.

    What is this strange thing at the end of leaflets? Is this a feature of this particular Robinia or it is common?

    A bristle, from the leaflet midrib extending beyond the normal leaflet apex. It's not standard on Robinia, but might be a feature of that particular individual cultivar.

    If it's a cultivar.
