Just an interesting tidbit I learned this week.
Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is a close member of the MAGNOLIA family.. and not really a true poplar.True poplar are aspens and cottonwoods. Poplar is in the Magnoliaceae family and aspens and cottonwoods in the Salicaceae family.
I always wondered why the modified cone looks a lot like the magnolia and the wood grain is similar although the bark is very different.
anyway.. back to your regularly scheduled programming.
