Today our humans found during their #autumn #hedgewatch this #leave 🙀 They think it's from a #tuliptree . We think the name given is wrong it should be called #cattree for obvious reasons 🐾

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.
