I found this tree stunning also, but can tell you no more about it, I am sorry, I should have stopped to look at the sign on it, as I was at the Botanic Gardens at Mt Cootha in Brisbane. again, another lovely flowering tree there also.... and another from the cactus family... a bougainvillea in bloom at St Mary's Anglican church, Kangaroo Point this afternoon, as I came home from a concert there! another one from the cactus garden.... these canna lilies were quite stunning, at the Botanic Gardens.. I just loved this color! If you would like to see more flowers from Today's Flowers contributors, please click on the Today's Flowers icon on my right hand side bar up there!
