Populus tremuloides is a deciduous tree native to cooler areas of North America, one of several species referred to by the common name aspen. It is commonly called quaking aspen,[2][3][4] trembling aspen,[2][3] American aspen,[3] mountain or golden aspen,[5] trembling poplar,[5] white poplar,[5] and popple,[5] as well as others.[5] The trees have tall trunks, up to 25 metres (82 feet) tall, with smooth pale bark, scarred with black. The glossy green leaves, dull beneath, become golden to yellow, rarely red, in autumn. The species often propagates through its roots to form large clonal groves originating from a shared root system. These roots are not rhizomes, as new growth develops from adventitious buds on the parent root system (the ortet).
Douglas fir is an evergreen coniferous tree with an average height of 40 to 80 feet, reaching up to 300 feet in the wild. The tree takes on the name of the botanist David Douglas, who introduced the first seeds to Great Britain from North America.
Sugar maple is a native species from the northeastern United States and Eastern Canada regions. Although the maple leaf is Canada's national symbol, this tree is also popular in the US. Americans mostly grow sugar maple as an ornamental and shade tree. They also find it valuable because it produces maple syrup, maple sugar, and lumber for furniture making.
Flowering dogwood is a deciduous, woody understory tree in the dogwood family. Native to southeastern Canada, eastern North America, and eastern Mexico, it grows about 15 to 25 feet and has leaves that turn purple and red in the fall.
Lodgepole pine, a common tree in the pine family, is native to western North America and Canada. Its natural range extends from Alaska in the north to California in the south, from the Pacific coast to the east of the Rockies. It can grow up to 50 feet, but some varieties are shrubs that reach only 10 feet.
Not to be confused with Populus tremuloides, the American aspen, also called trembling aspen and quaking aspen.
Populus tremula (commonly called aspen, common aspen, Eurasian aspen, European aspen, or quaking aspen)[2] is a species of poplar native to cool temperate regions of the Old World.

Distribution map
Red maple is one of the most common trees in eastern North America, reaching up to 120 feet tall and a 6 feet trunk diameter. It is a fast-growing tree with a dense canopy and shallow roots, making it an excellent option for boulevards and shade trees. Its dense canopy provides shade all year, during spring, fall, and summer.

White Oak Is a tree species endemic to the eastern United States, with a staggering population in eastern and central North America. The western slopes of the Appalachian mountains and the Ohio and central Mississippi River valleys have the best environmental conditions for growing white oak. However, the giant trees are on the eastern shore of Delaware and Maryland.
The American elm, also known as white elm and common elm, is next on our list of common trees in the United States. It is the largest species of all native elms, reaching a height of 80 ft and a diameter between 2 and 5 ft. American elms are native to eastern North America.
American basswood is native to eastern North America. The large tree species is a well-known honeybee tree. This bee species builds beehives in them, producing basswood honey that is pale in color and has a unique taste. It is also a home for butterflies and a food source for small mammals.
Eastern cottonwood is another widely distributed tree in America. It is a large tree that grows along streams, rivers, and lowland areas. It is the oldest and largest hardwood tree in North America, reaching a height of 100 feet and width of 75 feet. The tree species got its name from its seeds, which resemble cotton.
Eastern white pine is a native species of North America. This Maine and Michigan state tree has gray-brown barks, broad ridges, and scaly plates. It can grow between 50 to 80 feet tall.
Shagbark hickory is a member of the walnut family. It grows to 60 - 80 feet and is 25 - 35 feet wide. It is endemic to eastern and central America and some regions of Canada. The tree thrives in sandy or clay soils but prefers fertile, deep, and well-drained soil. It is also drought and flood-tolerant.

Too cute! These tulip orchids, nicknamed Swaddled Babies, were discovered in the Colombian Andes between 1777-1788 during a ten-year expedition but weren’t named and officially classified until 1798. During certain times of the plant’s blooming stage, the flowers’ unique shapes resemble that of a baby all wrapped up in white swaddling. Their tempting scent attracts insects to the hinged lip of the petal where the unsuspecting creatures are shoved into the column, where a pack of pollen then attaches itself to their abdomens, increasing pollination.
Sleeping babies make happy babies but there will be the newborn stage when they’re waking up for feeds during the middle of the night, when they wake perhaps having had a nightmare or are teething. Likewise as toddlers, they will try to assert themselves and see how far they can push boundaries regarding bed-time. There will be times when they have coughs and colds and are not feeling well. And then, as young teenagers you will lie awake, waiting for them to come in from their first disco. There will be less late nights for you and very few “lie-in” opportunities at the weekends.
