When I first bought this as a sapling 46 years ago the nurseryman said "You`ll have to wait a few years for it to flower". And now it`s flowering for the very first time. All the lower blooms have been ruined by the rain, and those in the photo are 35 feet above ground.

Yes, it`s a Liriodendron Tulipfera or Tulip Tree

Aren't they just fabulous? My brother has a huge one in his garden in France and when I was there in May it was absolutely covered with blossom. Quite, quite lovely.
