Hal,

Could it be Stewartia ovata?

Definitely Stewartia, would want some habitat and location info to go beyond that because of the similarity of the two.

Would there be a way to post a bigger picture?  And, how do we post the photos?  Some training will be needed.....and maybe some instructions in a very obvious place on the website............Fun to be in touch with folks this way.

If you click on the picture, it gets bigger. There's a size restriction on images. I can probably change that somewhere. And I can add a special board that is just instructions. In fact, I may be able to make a little movie showing how people can navigate the forum.

Also, if anyone thinks of other topics, let me know. I can add them easily.

Hal,

Could it be Stewartia ovata?

Richard

Yep, could be, I just don't have much experience with S. ovata, so I went
with the one I know.  Aren't the stamens of S. ovata usually yellow?

I was with Merrill when she took this photo of Stewartia ovata on our field trip last spring to Lula Lake.
