Now that is a curious looking flower.  I'll have nightmares tonight about picking up beanpods and being covered with big old caterpillars :D

[Tom]

your supposed to turn him inside out on the hook noble. :D That'll give you nightmares.  

I saw one of those trees today but it didn't have any leave on it so I couldn't identify it. ;D  Just a bunch of worms and leaf veins on twigs. ???

[RMay]

I can see who the fishermen are  ;D

[Tom]

Those flowers remind me a lot of Old Fort N.C. This link may show you why.[/url] ;D

[Texas Ranger]

I don't know berries about flowering trees!

[Tom]

I wanted to say that Huck Finn might have planted that thing but his namesake wouldn't have been a tree, but rather a bush.

I have been working on a fair exhibit at work . That is were the blooming trees came from  ; :. We have the flowers blew up in 8 by 10 pictures . By the way the list tree flower will make good tea from the roots 8)

[Tom]

I've studied and studied this. :-/

I'm not familiar with the flowers but have found some that look similar.  The leaves don't look familiar at all..............then.....

I noticed that the one on the bottom had the beginning of lobes.  Along with the hint about tea from roots, I think I know what it must be.  Is it Sassafras? Are the other leaves just imature? Am I right?  Huh? Huh?

[RMay]

Your right sassafras it is :
