These next few are found on the grounds where the Orchid Society use to be.

After doing some research, I believe this is an African Tulip Tree (looks like the buds in the gallery at the bottom of the page)

Apparently the Orchid Society planted a bunch of different trees on their property. They've moved on and the new owners (a school for the handicapped) have no idea what these are. There were some signs, but the lawn service and time managed to break them. Everything seems to bloom at different times of the year.

Thanks Roy. Maybe it's part of the mating process.

Nice Heron shots for sure but the tree shots, especially the first one, are beautiful.

Thanks dramtastic. They seem to have different colors with the different seasons.
