Liriodendron tulipifera

Botany Photo of the Day will have brief written entries on weekends, holidays and my vacations from April through September. – Daniel

Thank you to arnaut from Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands for today's photograph shared via this thread on the UBC forums.

Tulip tree is native to the hardwood forests of eastern North America. The Silvics of North America entry on Liriodendron tulipifera provides excellent information.

On a different note, BPotD and the garden web site will be down from 10pm tonight Vancouver time until 9am or so tomorrow morning. The building hosting the web server is undergoing more electrical upgrades, so the server will be shut down.

Botany resource link: More photographs from the recent Botany BC conference in Osoyoos, BC are now available on Ian Cumming's Photos of Hiking and Wildflowers. I've associated with Ian's page before, but considering the recent series of photos on BPotD from my trip to the conference, I thought I'd point out Ian's far more comprehensive pages for you to enjoy.
