I sowed the seeds on 4/8/08, and this little one came out in 3 days! This is Morning Glory, the seed package I bought was "Tall Mix", so I won't know the colors of the flowers until they open. Surprise me!
There's one more. Purple Tree!! Jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia)! These flowers covers whole tree and make it "Purple tree", too. It's really a spectacular view that this large tree looks just lavender-blue. I made a jewel-box photo out of one flower of Jacaranda last year. I love this tree!
This yellow tree photo was taken March 2007
The yellow tree above, Yellow Poui (Tabebuia serratifolia), is "The flowering tree of March" here. The very bright yellow flowers arrive before the leaves, so it looks just "yellow tree", so gorgeous. Every year, when March comes, we see these trees everywhere and they make us feel spring. But this year, yellow trees were not so yellow, not many flowers, not everywhere. Because the temperature was much lower this year? Before the flowers cover the tree, the leaves started to come out, didn't make yellow tree all yellow.
これは羽をひろげたところを後ろから・・・・お尻と羽全体をフリフリさせてメスにアピールしてました。
There are a lot of peacocks at Flamingo Garden, they are just walking around us, some are climbing the tree, some are calling loud, some are just displaying like this, of course. Such a beautiful bird, but their face....quite scary, meany face......sorry!
Another of strange plants at Flamingo Garden - Mickey Mouse Plant!! The upper photo tells you why it got the name. Strange thing is, this red part is not the flower but sepal. Their flowers are bright yellow, similar to the buttercup, and like two months later the sepals enlarge and turn scarlet, revealing green seeds, which turn black as they ripen. But but but.....I saw this exact tree 4 months ago, it was like this! Looks the same every time I see this tree! Yellow flowers cover the plant????I want to see that, when can I come back to see you like that???
