Thin tree with big blooms that look similar (at least from afar) to a magnolia bloom but are purple??? A girl I work with says she thinks they are called tulip trees. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Have them? Are they fairly easy?

Everything I can find on the net says that the bloom of a tulip tree is yellow. These are definately purple/lavendar. I've seen a couple of them in my neighborhood and down here at St. Inigoes.

Hmmmm, I'm wondering if it's not indeed a magnolia tree.

That one's pink but from the distance I've seen the trees they look just like magnolias. Shows how much I know about plants/trees; I never knew there were any other color magnolia then white.

Hey, Pix, the search that you performed that showed a tree with yellow flowers is actually a Tulip Poplar tree, which is a much different tree than the Tulip Tree that you're seeing planted in your neighborhood and down at Webster.

they are called saucer magnolia's I have one it is beautiful.
sometimes it doesnt get a chance to bloom fully due to frost. last year was the only year since i have had it that it got to fully bloom.

Tulip Poplars are all around my house. They have a yellow, white flower and drip this awful sap on everything. My deck gets covered in this sticky mess. They also have a tendancy to fall in very heavy winds (they grow to be tall) Can cause alot of damage.
