Indian Tulip Tree
 
A tropical evergreen with forest green, heart shaped leave and yellow cup flowers that nestle among the foliage. The flowers bloom off and on throughout the year turning from bright yellow to maroon as it ages. A highly valued garden plant desired for its pleasant foliage and stunning bouquet of flowers. Perfect for container growing as well as bonsai culture. Nature has allowed this seed to float for easier seed distribution and have been known to travel long distances across oceans to populate other islands and coastal regions.
