Mystery Beauty Identified - Tulip Poplar 2015-05-13 - Cool Springs Farm, Gradyville, Paradise, USA - Photo by Guy Babin. I found this lovely bloom on a tree full of them adjacient to a new paddock I opened up for grazing. Ever worried about my cows injesting something poisonous, I asked Nick Roy for help as I had no clue to its species. Come to find out It's a tulip poplar with no reputation for causing harm to cows . . . I'm often amazed by nature's beauty... and likewise thankful for Nick's willing mentorship. - GUY BABIN.
