Thanks Michaella...it is unusual, that's how it caught my attention.

I have no idea Meanie....
You know people look at you funny when you stop and stare at trees.....(strange people).

They're everywhere Alex - I sometimes wonder if I'm the only normal person left!!

25 Nov, 2011

 

Ah, so they are everywhere.
Just look at the not normal people smile and wiggle your eyebrows....

I can't do the eye thing, would an ear wiggle do!

25 Nov, 2011

 

Well, you might have more of an affect with an ear wiggle.

Melianthus???!!

Thanks Avkq47 but it's not a Melianthus. ;o)

Okay ... I am intrigued ... any clues? Flower colour from the red spur in the photo, fruit, bark?

26 Nov, 2011

 

Found it Avkq47....it is a Schefflera actinophylla.

26 Nov, 2011

 

Yes, it's Schefflera actinophylla - umbrella or octopus tree. They can grow to 60ft/20m tall. They're all blooming here, too.

Is it a common tree there, also?

26 Nov, 2011

 

Not too common Delonix but not rare either. I rather like this tree....

26 Nov, 2011

 

I like this tree, also. It's a very commonly grown large tree here. Almost every year when they bloom I post pics.

I've seen some really large trees around I want to pics of...just haven't had time, though. :>)
