Tulip Tree (Lirodendron tulipifera) is the tallest tree species in Eastern North America. The leaves are the sole larval host plant for the Giant Silk Moth (Callosamia angulifera).

They are just beginning to bloom and my phone did a pretty good job of capturing the photo of this bloom high up on the tree.

At the corner of the #OregonStateCapitol grounds is my favorite #TulipPoplar, which is neither a tulip nor a poplar. It is #LiriodendronTulipifera.
