Oh my :P

Evert, what did you do, remove it? Mitjo's link won't work.

Evert, you nasty guy!
He removed it from his website.

NO fair! I'm always a day late!
What was it about anyway?

Newspaper article of Evert.

Is it on an online site, Mitjo? Maybe you can hunt it down and translate, LOL! C'mon, Evert - put it back up for us to see again! :D :D

Pretty please :-) Can we see it?

waiting....waiting....holding my breath.....please???

Please may we see it?

Okay, you wanted to see it. Here it is. http://www.freewebs.com/planthouse2/article.htm

Thanks, Mitjo.

Oh, I remember this! I remember liking the picture of Evert misting his plants, too. I think it's great to see young men like yourselves interested in botany as much as you are in pop culture and all the latest gadgets. Here, so many young adults plant themselves in front of TV and play videogames instead of planting, well, plants! It's just really good to see and makes me smile. :)

Heheh, no problem. I just readed it again and I noted that there was oem mistakes...Now it's better
:]

Hmm, did I give my permission to that? ;)

Well, no, I suppose...

uh-oh, is Mitjo in trouble?

Just now have the opportunity to see the web site. I like it...Keep up the good work! Pictures are so clear...farizona

Farizona, you could see my better website. Those pictures are bad. http://www.freewebs.com/mvgallery

Ah there it is...yes I remember it...Evert you should be so proud..of it...I think it is really neat...How is the Tulip tree doing now? I have some seedlings..if you want another let me know...hehehe...In the last storm..it got topped...but there are some growing below...hehehe...So great...Nice to see the article again....

Diana.....

Yeah of course I should ;) It is three years old or something btw..

The african tulip tree is doing just fine, it has got new branches and I took it inside week ago.

I didn't remember you also had them, were the seeds from me? I hope they grow nicely for you.. No, I don't need extra ones right now, I still have five or so seeds to start new ones. It's a really nice plant :)

Hehehe, yours is tropical..ours is hardy to zone 5...it is a tree, strange because it has 5 different kinds of leaves on the same tree...it blooms in the spring..the flowers are shaped like...tulips...they bloom on the top...ours is about 20 feet high...kind of hard to see the blooms...But a neat tree...anyway....
I do not have seeds...just suckers growing from the roots on the bottom. hehehe.... this is the tree... the top is off...from the storm ----
Diana

And these are the leaves...strange...

Maybe it got it's share of Chornobyl fallout in 1986 ;)

Yes, that is the "Northern" Tulip Tree - Liriodendron tulipifera. Mine is the tropical one, Spathodea campanulata.

We have a lot of those tulip trees here in the mtns. of NC. They are commonly called Tulip Poplars and when they are really large, they are known as yellow poplar.

There is one in our next-door neighbor's back yard and it's so pretty: http://davesgarden.com/t/264701/

I loved seeing your beautiful pix. Thank you -both- for sharing!
