Does anyone have a tulip tree ? i have one in my yard, its very pretty but only blooms about 3 weeks of the year big green leaves the rest of the time. Was wondering if i should be doing anything special for it ? Have a pic if interested. Plants: 23 | From: central texas | Registered: Apr 2004

hi david. i have one... send me the pic of your tree to see if they are the same. send it to jiffymouse@thegardenhelper.com
if they are the same, the care is much like that of an azalea or magnolia. and yes, they only bloom for 3 weeks a year.

My neighbor has one and I think it one of the prettiest trees there is. The flowers are so neat, you don't normally see that color here and it is a nice change to see.
Seems very neat, not messy, maybe some big leaves in the fall, but hey, better for the compost????

I took a peak at your pictures, What a nice back yard you have, Are the water lilies your's??
And do you know the name of the bush/shrub that's in bloom with white flowers?? A Rose of Sharon??????????????????? Couldn't see too close, but very pretty!!!
And Thank~You for finding the Web~Shot's, alot of our gardeners have that, and it is so much fun to see pictures!! Thanks for sharing!!

david, you and weezie are both right. you have the same thing i have which is called a tulip magnolia. fregquently it gets shortened to just tulip tree, but the full name is "japanese tulip magnolia". i love mine and have had it for 13 years. 4 years in the ground then i dug it up and potted it because i was moving. it is in a pot now and quite happy!

I guess that is why they use those darn Latin names for plants, people get to callin' something and it get's called that, and it gets confused!!! I've got to find a thing for pronouncing them names.....
Read this, the one we have here is in the Magnolia family!!!!!! I didn't know that!! Thought it was a Poplar!! Tuliptree
