We did an evening tour of the garden and walking up the nursery path,
Raymond glanced at the Liriodendron tulipifera he planted about 20
years ago, maybe more and let out a yell. For the first time ever, it's
flowered! We counted about a dozen blooms on it. It's only waited until
it's around 35' tall! Do they usually take so long to flower?
Mum planted a tulip tree in my previous garden about 30 years ago. It
flowered once when it got to about 10' high. It was about 20' high
when I moved house but has not flowered again.

Oh no! I hope ours doesn't follow suit. That's very sad!
