This is the flower of the tulip tree, it's a very unusual colour: green and cream. There are not many on my tree and mixed among the leaves you cannot see them easily, you have to look carefully.
I saw a very big tulip tree in the cemetary in Paris and it was covered with flowers, amazing.
It is the INDIANA STATE TREE and can grow up to 30 metres!).
When I bought mine I had no idea it would become a very big tree; on the labels there is no information about the adult size of trees and this is stupid. Planting a tree in a garden you need to know how much space the tree will need. I have planted too many (trop) trees, too near (trop près) each other.

TREES

Yes, I've been out with my camera to photograph trees again. Why not? I like trees and they're easier to photograph in winter, they make beautiful silhouettes.
This one's beautiful, isn't it? Pity (dommage) there's the ribbon just in front - well, everything can't be perfect, it proves that I took it:)
This one's behind my house - a linden tree (un tilleul), in Spring covered with fragrant flowers used to make herbal tea.
THE tree 2. I'm taking advantage of the position of the setting sun behind the tree, and the beautiful clear skies and I'm going tp take a series, so here goes! You're going to see more and more trees! Just a moment, rain is forecasted (prévue) for tomorrow. Well, so what? I'll take a photo of THE tree in the rain!
