flowering tree at Tamarind Grove
As you face the mailboxes at Tamarind Grove, on the right-hand side in the landscaping is a tree that has no leaves on it, but is flowering like crazy with pinkish-lavender flowers that look kind of like open tulips. Does anyone know what the name of that tree is?

I didn't notice that tree before, and I don't recall seeing others like it around. I probably will now though.
I am not familiar with the tulip tree but I'm thinking that CFrance's tree is a type of magnolia named "Saucer". |
We were recently at the Bok Gardens and there were many trees like this. Beautiful flowers with no leaves. Looked very odd.

Agree....probably a japanese magnolia. We have a couple of them in our yard (in north Florida) and they do bloom even when all leaves are gone - sometimes a lot of blooms...sometimes not so many. It probably does depend upon the climate.

It is a Saucer Magnolia. We had them up North.
Goes dormant in the fall, blooms on bare wood in 'the spring', then glossy leaves appear after blooming. Lovely tree. Not many around here! |
I thought you would know, Uptown Girl! Is it blooming out of season? Are there supposed to be no leaves on it when it blooms? It's so pretty.

It's a pink flowering magnolia.
Had to go check it out this morning when I was out and about. |

Yes, it is a magnolia tree. We have alot of them up in Wisconsin and they do bloom before the leaves appear. It's unusal for the flowers to last as long as they do here because in the spring we have rain and strong winds that blow the flowers off. You're fortunate to be able to enjoy them for so long.
