Interesting Seed Pod from A Tree


I picked up this beautiful pod from the deck of my real estate listing. I hope the tree that produced it survived the storm and is still standing in the spring so I can identify the species.

Hope you're doing well, coping as best as you can.
My best to your mom and Mr. Webster.

Love the photos on your blog! Often, I wish I lived in or had whatever you are showing. I believe this pod is from a Tulip Poplar tree. We have tons of them in NC and they drop a pod that looks like your photo. Hope things smooth out with your Mom. I know from experience that what you are doing is difficult and mentally exhausting sometimes so make sure to take care of yourself too. By the way, although I am in NC now, I was born and raised in southern NJ.

That's from a Tulip tree! I have an old vase full of them in my den. They're lovely!

It looks like a seed pod from a tulip poplar tree (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liriodendron_tulipifera). I love your blog, Rosemary!

That's from a yellow poplar!

I've been reading your blog for quite a while now and thoroughly enjoy the wonderful photos and your comments.

Happy to tell you that the wonderful seed pod which i always pick up and save because I love them is a tulip poplar.
