Tulip Tree Picture

Tulip Tree: or Liriodendron is actually a magnolia (Magnoliaceae family : Liriodendron tulipifera). The tulip tree can grow in the wild up to about 200 feet (60m) and is an excellent lumber tree. Early settlers used the tulip tree for making dugout canoes.

A picture of the tulip tree

The next season thanks to the available nutritions in the bulb, these bulbs will be the first to grow leaves and flowers, much faster than plants without a nutrition reservoir.

A tulip tree is a tree: it keeps on growing to become taller and taller each year, with or without having a seasonal rest.

The leaves of the tulip tree are kind of "cut off" at the top, which makes the tulip tree easy to distinguish from others.

Also in the tulip tree flower seen on the angle in the picture on the right, shows less ressemblance with the tulip flower. Yet the name tulip tree mostly refers to the greenish-yellow, tulip-shaped flowers that like normal tulip flowers also bloom in spring.

First pictures of tulips

I was at my brothers’ and in his garden I took the first picture of tulips of the year. Of course not of flowering tulips, but of some sprouting tulips.

Unfortunately I had to use my brother’s handphone camera, which is not really the latest model.

But it’s the effort that counts and just to know that unlike in my garden some tulips "shot out" of the soil due to a way too mild winter, his tulips are doing fine :-)

I know, this tulip picture is very small, yet as small as the tulips themselves.
