'To my mind Davidia involucrata is at once the most interesting and beautiful of all trees of the north-temperate flora…
The flowers and their attendant bracts are pendulous on fairly long stalks, and when stirred by the slightest breeze they resemble huge Butterflies hovering amongst the trees.'
-E.H. Wilson

The tree was so big that even their combined 120 pounds looked small but they are indeed under there!

Wow! I've never seen a tree like that before. It made such good camouflage on the ground that I could barely see the pups underneath. Happy WW!

The pups are like camouflage Cascadian Nomads under the tree, and I love your photo of everyone in front of the purple rhododendron!
