Another of the interesting trees that are blooming now. The floral spikes are about 12 inches long and hopefully you can see that they are a vivid magenta ( if that's a word they still use today). We see them along the free ways as we travel back and forth to the different parts of the mission. I am determined to buy a floral book of South Florida before we go home. There are so many things I don't have names for. The people we keep asking are not native to Florida, so not much information coming from them.
