There are a couple of Robinia's nearby my house, and this is the first time that I've been able to see them flower.
There seems to be three kinds: the typical Robinia pseudoacacia with white pendulous flowers and bright green-yellow leaves, a similar version of the pseudoacacia with smaller leaves and no flowers, and another that has smaller green-brown leaves, with bright red new growth. However, none of them seem to have thorns (except one tree that is very young, maybe 2 years old).
The third is the one that piqued my interest, as I haven't managed to match it's flowers to any Robinia species. Here is a photo of the flowers:
The flowers are quite small. At first I thought that possibly the flowers had just started to grow, however I never ended up seeing any flowers larger than the above photo.
