It does look amazing ... it's a big tree too. We have some beautiful indigenous plants, & I imagine many of them have never been seen by the rest of the world. Probably applies to most countries, though I lived six years in West Africa & never really discovered much that was exciting in the plantworld. Bouganvillea ... lots of it growing everywhere & frangipani with its beautiful perfume, were really the only pretty things there. But the birdlife was totally amazing & very colourful, as birds flew in from many countries to leave winter behind.
