Sweet Poplar Collection

Sweet Poplar, Sweet Poplar; You have become golden.

Yesterday you were green, a wild green of glorious birds.

Today you are bedraggled; Under the August sky.

As I am beneath the sky; Of my red spirit.

By Federico Garcia Lorca (Translated from Spanish by Thomas P. Feeny)

There are 35 different species of Poplars, which are segregated into three groups: Cottonwoods, Aspens, and Balsam poplars. Poplar trees are a tough species, steeped in history and mythology. Many a beautiful legends are always under the shadows of a poplar tree.
