Joe and others,
Thank you all for your help. A friend pointed out that's probably a Golden Raintree (Koelreuteria paniculata). I looked up pictures on the net that he recommended (http://www.cnr.vt.edu/dendro/dendrology/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=296
) and it looks like a good match.
Another web site says this plant yields 100-200 kg/ha when there are very few other blooms for bees to forage. Definitely, a good choice for the ornamental suburban garden/yard.
Regards,
