The blooms are very delicate. And very sensitive to temperature. Therefore, they usually get hurt by a frost.
But in the years that they don’t, they are magnificent!!

Tulip Trees
I don’t know the real name of these trees. I’ve just always heard them called Tulip Trees. They look more like a Magnolia to me but whatever.

Those shots are really beautiful. Ironically, I took some photos of the same kind of tree yesterday, but mine are not as good as yours. I too, don't know what kind of tree it is, but it's oh so gorgeous.
We've always called it a Tulip Tree as well. One of my "neighbors" has one in her front yard, and I slow down every morning to admire it as I pass by on my way to work:)
Gorgeous shots Woody! I love those trees too, our neighbor has on and I admire it everyday!
Gorgeous Woody... I saw a bunch of these beauties in Hendersonville yesterday....
Easter Blessings to you and yours.
Hugs,

I want to say that they are tulip poplar trees, but not sure. My sister, Mary, has two in her front yard. Seems like a frost always gets them just before they bloom, but you're right- when they bloom, they are magnificent!
This is something that you would never see in Florida. Gorgeous!!
Wow! Sooo beautiful. I love flowering trees.
Very beautiful! We have very few colorful trees in TX. I'm being kind to the Lone Star State because I've never seen any. I'm guessing those Tulip Trees have a nice fragrance as well.
Happy Easter, Woody
The Tulip Poplar is the state tree of Tennessee....I don't know the difference between a tulip and a tulip poplar, though. But that sure is a beauty!
Not sure what it is other than beautiful!
Great shots Woody.
