Tulip tree leaf (Liriodendron tulipifera)

The very distinctive leaf of the tulip tree, a Carolinian species that shouldn't really grow around Ottawa. However, there is a large one in the Arboretum (there used to be two), and last fall I found this little sapling at the FWG. How it got there is a mystery, but that it survived the winter is encouraging. Though, if we get a long cold winter, it may not make it.

This is neat!! And keen spotting on your part. It will be interesting to see if this sapling grows to be a tulip tree complete with flowers.
