Liriodendron tulipifera (Tulip Tree) - in flower

Well worth the wait

Oh my! Well done Dawn....patient lady! There is an avenue of these at Kensington Palace Gardens. They were in flower when we were there....incredible! I first saw this in a nursery here in Dundee. I had no idea what it was and was bowled over by it. Absolutely gorgeous! :)) I imagine you were thrilled to see your first flower after 12 years of a wait!

Iv'e heard of it but never seen a flower Dawn. Will it flower each year from now on?

How exciting Dawn it's fabulous, what a beautiful colour I've only seen it in pink ,you must be thrilled to bits :o))

Oh Wow!!! thats stunning lucky you :-)

Oh that is fantastic Dawn.....so I have only 9 years to wait then!!

Thanks everyone, yes, worth the wait, I given up. Not sure if it will flower each year now, I know the trees have to be mature before they flower, maybe the mild winter and hardly any late frosts helped, not sure.
Glad you saw it Dotty, good luck with yours.

Thanks Dawn, it has put on a lot of growth this year.
