“Oh, Carrie-Beth said I might run into Sully Bynam and, if so, to be sure and ask to see his tulip poplars.” Shell overheard and snapped her head around. “Sully’s tulip poplars are a sight to behold. You’ve never seen golden beauties like those. A whole driveway full of ’em. It’s like… like something on TV.”
Tulip poplars: you can have all of the horrid things. They're too tall to see the flowers, and every fall they litter the ground with thousands of stabby seeds. Liriodendron (actually related to magnolias), are neither poplars nor tulips, and they suck ass.
