Blossom......
.......from the ''Tulip Tree''. Although I do not believe they are native to the area, there are many of these trees in the rural areas but I have not seen any deep in the natural forests. I have seen them 10 to 25 ft tall, and are quite beautiful in full bloom....
Thanks for all the clicks and comments, they are appreciated......
