DID YOU KNOW:
Tulip Poplar Flower---
This is not a Tulip at all - it's from the Liriodendron Tulipifera, a massive tree related to Magnolias. Its blooms only last for a few days and often grow so high you never see them unless one falls.
BEN FRANKLIN actually used this wood for his inventions.
It's called the "tree that touches the sky" by Indigenous peoples and can live over 300 years.
