They were giving away tulip trees at Red Butte Garden today
in celebration of Arbor Day.
My daughter is holding the tiny tree and standing next to a grown one.
These trees blossom in late spring. The flower looks like a tulip.
The big tree will bloom soon,
so we hope to return to the garden weekly so we don't miss it.
These are crown imperial lilies also known as fritillaria imperialis.
We wouldn't have seen them if not for a garden volunteer telling us where to find them.
There's a lot of color in the garden right now.
It's going to get even prettier in the next month.
If you're only going to go to the garden once a year,
I'd recommend waiting for the wisteria to bloom.
Last year that happened toward the end of May.
But I really do recommend going more than once a year.
We see new, beautiful plants every time we go.
Plants are so amazing and incredible!
