Kigelia africana - Sausage Tree


Kigelia africana - Sausage Tree (Kigelia africana - Sausage Tree)

The smaller Sausage tree at Foster's Botanical Garden in Honolulu, HI. The larger tree was more than 60 feet / 20 meters tall...I couldn't fit it into my camera lens. Photo taken August 4, 2009. This is for my GoY friend Terratoonie.

i'll put this place on my wish list to visit.........

Jaderose, Thanks!

Bernieh: Yes, I'm waiting for Terratoonie's comments.

Rbtkew: Foster's Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical
garden in Hawaii. It is located in downtown Honolulu, HI...I think is was established circa 1850. It has many old large speciment trees.

Sandra:

It is definitely one to put on the wish list...However, Lyon Botanical Garden and the Ho'omaluhia Garden which is my favorite is a must because they are located in the tropical rain forest.

Terratoonie:

Yes, I posted this photo for you back in August after my return trip from Hawaii.

However, I know this was during a very difficult period of time for you. I'm glad you found it! : > )

Hi Delonix... Thank you.
Yes, from time to time I come across members' photos from last spring and summer, and I think....How did I miss this ? Then I realise it was when I had worries taking my attention away from GoY.

Terratoonie:

It actually was amazing you had time for comments on GoY during Conker's illness. I'm not sure if I would have. I'm just so glad it's behind you now!

Thanks, Delonix...
Conker has a one in ten chance of staying cancer-free, so we must just keep positive. :o)

Terratoonie:

Yes, keeping positive is the best thing to do. : > )
