this tree, as beautiful as it is, has become a problem in hawaii. its growth is apparently out of control.

Oh Jen, this is excellent. I loved the tulip trees out there but agree with your description. While they are most beautiful, they are presenting problems. But your colors and clarity are magnificiant and this is an exceptional post. Thanks for sharing this beauty. Thanks too for coming by my gallery and leaving your kind words.

All the wonders you seek are within yourself. Always glad to see visitors at My Gallery and thanks for your continued kind words and constant support. Anita
Hello Jen,
This is a razor-sharp shot of this tree. The 'flowers' are certainly vibrant and must add a welcome splash of colour wherever they grow. I'm sorry the Hawaiians are finding it a bit of a thug. If this tree invaded England and bloomed in the depths of winter, I'm sure we'd welcome its loutish growth!
Great capture, Jen and those dark green leaves really punch up the reds,

Beautiful blossoms, they look tipped with gold. Really a standout against the green!

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
Hard to picture this as "out of control". I wish it would come over to my front yard and go out ofd control. Beautiful bloom. Well done. NTUN

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
Those flowers are a knock out! Very pretty, Jen.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva
I don't think I have ever seen this type of flower before. It is just beautiful! If they have too many growing, they can send some over here! Would love some of those in my garden! Lovely photograph Jen! - very vibrant colours and the contrast is amazing! Patti

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

Really great capture Jen. If they must be taken over at least it is a pretty take over.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
I can't imagine anything this pretty becoming a problem. Tell them I'll take some of it off their hands. LOL

Enjoy each day as if it were your last! My gallery.
The flower is beautiful so I am suprised to hear that it is such a problem. My dont they import some of it or make lays out of them.

This is a stunning flower. How unfortunate that it couldn't maintain a civilized presence in the garden without trying to take over everywhere.

Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life for all men are recognized and accepted as a common obligation of all men . . . shall we . . . be able to speak of mankind as civilized.

If you love something, set it free.
It it comes back to you, it is yours.
If it does not, it was never meant to be.

What beautiful flowers this has!! Looks like it is very lush and hardy...this is certainly a wonderful and colorful capture!

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
I like the contrast in the red flowers and the green background. It really brings out the flowers. Excellent!

A separate but very certainly splendid flower, if I understand it well, the plant actual weedses becomes.

splendid! the vibrant reds here are great, and the detail is just right there! btw, when my grandfather was young, he had a job going into trees like this with ropes and pulleys to cut fresh tulips. i wonder if he'd seen anything like this. thanks for this post, as it's value to me is much more than it's wonderful looks

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
