Member # 2222 posted                       It's some type of magnolia. If it is blooming now, it may be one of "The Little Girl Hybrids" as they were bred to bloom later than the saucer magnolia, thus avoiding the spring frosts. I think though, that they bloom in late spring, with sporadic bloom in summer. There are 8 different varieties all with girl's names. * * * * Terry May the force be with you Plants: 1370 | From: Copper Hill, Virginia | Registered: Apr 2004  |  Seeded: 66.37.83.105 Annell Great Gardener Member # 10052 posted                       I think it is called a tulip tree. That is what my mother always called it. * * * * Annell Please Spay/Neuter your Pets.

I found that out when I posted mine here on the mystery forum.

I've heard Bestofour's tree called a "Tulip Magnolia", and I've heard the one netwiz posted called a "Tulip Poplar". They both grow in my area. * * * * je mange, donc je suis ~~~ rene dessertcart My Albums Plants: 431 | From: coastal n.c. | Registered: Aug 2005  |  Seeded: 65.184.136.142 slredmond Dream Gardener Member # 6650 posted                       Netwiz - Liriodendron tulipifera http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/species/litu.htm Bestoffour - Magnolia species http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC1015.htm Both beautiful!! * * * * Sandy R.

I always forget that the common names could be referring to more than one plant. Joanne Plants: 302 | From: York, PA | Registered: Apr 2006  |  Seeded: 71.207.48.40
