Calling All Tree Lovers!




This gorgeous tree is in our next door neighbor's yard. I've never seen anything like it. For about two weeks every spring it is covered with these beautiful flowers. The branches cover our garage and carpet the patio and driveway with petals. I'm clueless as to what this tree is. I've consulted books on Ohio trees, to no avail.

Got any ideas?

Before you ask, the neighbors don't know either. It's the only one like it they've ever seen.

Tanya,
That tree is a tulip poplar. It's the state tree of Kentucky.
