Description
This pretty flower is a tulip tree (Iriodendron) blossom. The tree is also called a tulip poplar though it is more closely retated to the magnolia than the poplar. They grow in eastern North America; I took this photo in eastern Missouri in May. The pretty yellow color of the petals and the lovely greens of the leaves are very striking against the black background.

Thank you, Ann. This is not a tree that grows around here so I loved seeing it.
