Tulip-like flower from a Tulip Poplar Tree This is the flower of a tulip poplar (also referred as white or yellow poplar) but it is actually a member of the magnolia family.

Tulip-like flower from a Tulip Poplar Tree

This is the flower of a tulip poplar (also referred as white or yellow poplar) but it is actually a member of the magnolia family. I am lucky to have this great looking tree in my back yard in Kane PA.

      Thanks! I think so ......when I bought it 26 years ago it was brown, baron and ugly. My husband, Bob, and I have turned it into a lush, green sanctuary! We have 20 different species of trees, many different ground covers, several islands of flowers and bushes, and, of course, fountains and bird baths for the birds. My yard is my favorite place to be!

        That also sounds like macro paradise during summer, which explains your insect shots. Posted 11 years ago
