Tulilp Tree

Have you ever seen a tulip tree? It is named as such because of the flowers that it produces. They are green and bright orange and are in the shape of a tulip flower. They are quite lovely. The wood is used for cabinet and furniture framing.

Wikipedia states Liriodendron is a genus of two species of tree in the Magnoliaceae family, known under the common name Tulip tree. Liriodendron tulipifera is native to eastern North America, while Liriodendron chinense is native to China and Vietnam. Both species are large deciduous trees.
