In New England, we call this the Tulip Tree.  It is rather a strange tree.  In the Spring, before it leafs out, it blossoms large pink thick petal flowers.  These are so numerous on the tree that it looks rather like cotton candy from afar.
     It was real fun playing with colors.  It was really as sweet as when you allow yourself the liberty of coloring outside the lines.  Oh the joy of playing!       Caroline
