[Leica] IMG: Tulip Poplar Blooms

[RicCarter]

nice pics

our poplars are way too tall to reach the blossoms

we planted them back in about ’86 after plucking them from the gutter of my wife’s childhood home

They’re 60+ tall now

> 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.
