Puc Puggy Chapter, NSDAR

I picked the Franklinia because William Bartram found the tree and named it after his friend Benjamin Franklin. The tree they think died out in Florida due to planting cotton that became diseased and that the disease also killed the trees. The flower is supposed to smell really good. In the Fall the leaves turn red and there are still blossoms on the tree. Since William Bartram is our patriot, he is the root of our chapter. All our members have grown from the roots and the branches spread out and the tree’s blossoms show off our achievements.
