Trevesia sundaica - Snowflake Tree or Snowflake Aralia

lovely plant Delonix. you can see where it gets its name...a friend of mine has been in san diego taking sports action photos...as well as some pics of the zoo. he was confused as to how i knew a little about the zoo, parks and the tall palm trees there....:-)

Sandra:

Thanks! These are great trees!

Hopefully your friend hasn't been here in the last 3 weeks...the weather has been very rainy and cool for October. Typically we receive no rain in October and it's warm to hot and very dry...like how it was today (Oct. 27, 2010).

he was out in the dessert this week and it rained....hes set me some great pics of a joshua tree...

Sandra:

He's in the high desert where the Joshua trees grow. They are pretty spectacular when they bloom! :>)

the light in his pic is awesome with a rain storm brewing...he's on his way home to rainy windy Wales.now...

Sandra:

That's too bad your friend is on his way home now...the weather has been hot here for the last 3 days and all next week it's suppose to be warm to hot.

its ok Delonix hes been there weeks..im sure he will be glad to see some welsh rain...:-)

Sandra:

I'm sure the Welsh rain is more than our "so called rain", which most people from around the world consider drizzle. LOL! :>)

What a beautiful leaf, shame , would love to grow this.

Yes, this species has a very beautiful, shiny leaf! It's not as common as T. palmata, though. It's also very tropical.
