Name: Donna King Selmer, TN (Southern West TN) (Zone 7b)
We are on vacation in Middle Tennessee, Crossville. All along the roadway there are these trees with these lovely blooms. Some have just a few, some are covered up with them and some have none. Some of the blooms are brilliant orange, some are yellow and some look mixed. But the trees that are yellow are yellow, those that are orange are orange. Then you see one that just can't seem to decide, lol. They are large, tall trees, the blooms are just clusters of beauty. I'm wondering if there are male & female trees, as some trees beside the blooming ones are just as large, yet show no sign of bloom. Below are pix of one that I noticed growing in the wooded area behind our condo. And I pulled up a baby one under it to bring home! Hope it lives!!
