Liliovník tulipánokvětý u Gymnázia Olgy Havlové

The tulip tree stands on the grounds of Gymnázium Olgy Havlové in Poruba and grows to considerable height. Its large yellowish-green flowers appear in spring and resemble tulips in shape, which gives this species its common name.

This species originates from North America and was brought to Europe through botanical exchange programs centuries ago. It was planted across Europe in parks, gardens, and later in urban spaces where it continues to grow today.

The tree serves as a natural gathering spot on the school grounds where students and visitors pause to observe its distinctive spring blooms. Its presence has become a familiar landmark for the local community throughout the seasons.

The tree is easily accessible and located centrally on the school grounds where it is visible to visitors. The area is open during school hours and offers free access to view the tree from outside the buildings.

The flowers of this tree species are so unusual that many people do not recognize them as flowers at the first glance. This makes the tree a surprising discovery for visitors passing by or visiting the school.
