Plant: Tulip poplar foliage, blossoms, fruit pods.....

Another amazing flower, that has been lying in my archive, without ever having made to the blog...
These are tulip poplar....big tree, with fist-size blooms....of parrot and orange color...producing copious nectar...to invite the pollinators...



Ideal plant for South California parks....the leaves are especially beautiful..

In spring the trees look full, laden with the pretty flowers....

Fall foliage of the tree......

Fruit pods in autumn.........


In winter, bare and sporting the dry cepals...........
