Tulip Poplar
I've seen lots of these trees in bloom. Snore. Yes, the tree itself is tall and stately, and the leaf shape and shine makes them eyecatching. They are actually a favorite of mine.
I was driving through Old Washington today after delivering some flyers advertizing a teacher's workshop, and my jaw dropped. I went around the block, pulled over, and took these pictures. This tree was covered with these blossoms, which are the size of baseballs.

When I lived in Baton Rouge LA for 11 years, we had a Tulip Poplar in our front yard, and it NEVER bloomed! I didn't know they could - kudos for the photos!
That's really cool... I've been wanting to buy a seedling for a long time, but I don't know if they like our soil or climate... I should call CSU, but they don't think apple or peach trees can grow here... Like the ones in our front yard... : )
