[Leica] IMG: Tulip Poplar Blooms

[Jim Nichols]

Both Ric Carter and Tina have mentioned the blooms of the Tulip Poplar 
tree recently, so, having two such trees, I went out to see what I could 
find.  The smaller tree had none, but the larger tree has more than in 
previous years, so I assume that they bloom more as they get older.  
Compared to Magnolia blooms, they are much smaller and harder to see, 
but the pastels are quite pretty.
