My mother has a tulip tree, but I don't remember when it started producing
flowers (it's about 25 years old now). A quick Web search didn't turn up any
good pictures of blooms from tulip trees. Perhaps it's a variant of trees
that Lynda is familiar with. The only thing that I'm familiar with is the
tulip tree bloom. Have you tried the local Extension office or a local
college?
