Pretty in Pink | Blooming tree hints at spring - Texarkana Gazette

Federal Courthouse on State Line Avenue provides an early hint of spring. It is always one of the first flowering trees to bloom in Texarkana — or maybe, because of its prominence and placement, one of the first to be noticed. It is a type of tree that goes by many names. Its scientific title is Liriodendron. It is also called a Jane Magnolia or an Ann Magnolia because, as you might suspect, it is in the magnolia family of trees. The blooms of the magnolia tree and tulip tree have much in common, including texture. A more descriptive moniker? How about The Pink Tree. But that would be too easy and obvious. Its bark reminds some people of poplar trees. Thus it is sometimes called the tulip poplar, though the two are only distantly related. The blooms of the tulip tree are big and beautiful, similar to those on a magnolia tree. Photo by Les Minor/Texarkana Gazette. And while it's pink and white flowers add cheer to the parks around the courthouse even on the drabbest of days, let some sunlight break through the cover and the tree practically gushes when the wind rustles the trembling glitz on its branches. The tulip tree (also written tuliptree), is native to our Eastern Seaboard and also Ch...

Dr. Seuss-like Flowers Found by Texas Park Rangers

Park rangers in Texas have found flowers that look like they could have come from a Dr. Seuss book.When the Atlanta State Park near Texarkana in North Texas Tuesday, comparisons to the Truffula trees from Dr. Seuss' “The Lorax” began pouring in.According to the post, the phenomena aren’t even really flowers, but are called “wool sower gall,” and they grow when wool sower wasps lay eggs in a white oak, the rangers posted.When the eggs hatch in springtime, chemicals are released that stimulate the plant to grow the fluffy ball, which gives the tiny wasp grubs food and protection. The photos show the puffy pink plant growing out of dead leaves and branches, perched on the end of a thin twig.The post describing Ranger Steve’s find has received more than 1,100 likes and has been shared almost 2,000 times since Tuesday.Because of all the interest in the gall, the park decided to host a hike Friday so locals can see the natural phenomenon and learn more about them, ., wool sower galls allow the wasps to have a parasitic relationship to the oak tree, but the galls don’t overtake or damage the tree. Wool sower galls have al...

She is a cancer survivor and says she doesn’t have a secret of longevity. According to her caretakers, she gives no credit to a special diet or a rigorous exercise regimen. On the contrary, Mrs. Powell loves candy, so much in fact that her party featured a table full of delicious sweets. According to her only child, Don Cox, Powell enjoyed to dance in her younger years. “She loved to dance, she and my dad were quite the dancers,” said Cox. Powell’s son stood next to her as attendee’s sang the happy birthday song in unison, moments after he bent over and gave his mother and “birthday girl” a kiss. “She is the most beautiful woman, inside and out. We had some pretty tough times, but she never missed a beat. She went to work and took care of me. She’s been the best mother in the whole wide world, and I am so blessed to have her, I really am,” expressed Powell’s 82-year-old son, Don Cox. (TXK Today)
