Spathodea campanulata, African Tulip. Thanks, Google!

-Tom

 

[pigwot]

Way to go, Google or not!

African Tulip isn't very common. Only four known in the LA County, one of which has white flowers.

So, you're up if you have something, otherwise i have a few from that trip still...

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'll look in the archives later this AM and let you know.

-Tom

 

[tomthetreeman]

Okay, here's one.

Acer cissifolium

Ivy Leaf Maple, longer tip length...?

 

[mrtree]

That makes sense if it is trifoliate, if not may caudatifolium

Dingdingding! Back to the left coast I guess!

[pigwot]

Okay, here's the next one from the West Coast.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Okay, I just used this guess for another tree, and it's not even native to the West coast, but...

Gymnocladus dioicus?

 

[robinia]

Oooh, good one!
Something about those leaves makes me think Fraxinus excelsior. I'm sure that's way off but whatthehell.

 

[pigwot]

robinia is getting warm...

 

[robinia]

No one else is jumping in?
Oh well. How about F. quadrangulata? If so that's by far the largest I've ever seen!

 

[pigwot]

I'll accept the F.

- but not the quadrangulata

 

[pigwot]

Slow in here... loss of interest?

It is F. uhdei...

[robinia]

Sorry, I was feeling like I was monopolizing that last one. Got another?
I really dig winter TFAD!

 

[CutHighnLetFly]
