Image #104 – Tulip Poplar?

This beautiful blossom was one of many on a very tall tree. A friend told me it was a tulip poplar but the flower does not match any in my reference sources. Perhaps a reader can help me out?

Image #81 – Sorry, this one’s mine

Exploring the nearby West Macon Track and adjacent Willow Falls housing development I came across some lovely passionflowers in a field. Most were being “worked” by the bees. This particular bee seems very possessive of his flower, clinging to it and giving me a look that says “Mine!” Perhaps my camera lens seemed like a rival? ☙

Image #80 – Carolina Crepe Myrtles

The Carolina Crepe Myrtles are in bloom. They dot the landscape, rising to heights of 13-15 feet. They are lean, quite different from the shorter, bushy-style crepe myrtles I’m accustomed to in Florida. The hot pink color of the Carolina myrtles is also very different from the soft pink and white flowers that you see in Florida. Either one is fine with me. They both have beautiful flowers that last a long time. ☙
