[Leica] IMG: Tulip Poplar Bloom

[Douglas Barry]

Nice looking flower, Jim. Never seen one of those before. I looked them up
over here and it turns out there are a few of them here in Ireland.

My wife is the horticulturist in this house and I see there's a specimen 
tulip tree,
Liriodendron tulipifera, at a height of 24m and girth of 5.68m in the 
grounds of Lough Rynn Castle Hotel at Mohill in Co. Leitrim. Perhaps we'll 
sally forth as the place not only has an interesting garden but was the home 
of one of the most notorious landlords in Ireland
