You've seen this species of tree here before, but never with so many seed pods. Doesn't it just look like a candelabra waiting for tapers to be placed and lit for Christmas?

Yes, it is the lovely tulip tree, Liriodendron tulipifera. Wouldn't it be an amazing sight with a candle glowing in each one of those little holders?

I've fixed one for you. You'll have to use your imagination on the rest!

Very cool...love the candle, but a full tree would have been awesome. :D
That is a Merry Christmas tree!
It would be beautiful! And like an old-fashioned traditional Christmas.
oh my, I can just imagine what a whole tree full of candles would look like.
Spectacular...I've got a great imagination but I would so like to see it done by YOU. I used to be a fanatic for candles in the house.
Very nice idea. Too bad you couldn't put candles on all the flowers.
