Thanks! Yes, they are.

These trees were put in as large
plants because it takes many years
for them to grow this big.

This trees is widely used in the landscape here
because they are extremely drought tolerant.

Yes, they do look like an elephant's foot...I have posted photos of many of these trees planted in
the new Elephant Odyssey section at the San Diego Zoo.

Must go and have a look......

They MUST have painted the blooms red for the kids!

No, it's the true color. It has such beautiful flowers!

Your kidding!..I have one..its been like all the rest on the net..cream flowers. NAH- THIS has to be done for the kids.

I have several photos of this plant in bloom. The flowers are always this color. Check them out.
