Tulip trees

My neighbor (actually 3 neighbors ago) planted a line of these tulip trees along the side of his drive that borders our property. They grew very fast and stunted the ability for the sun to shine on our apple trees. This made our apples stunted. But there is always a plus side and today I found it. The blooms actually do look like tulips and even the leaves resemble the shape of tulips. I found them to be a lovely and unique blip.
