Alligator Apple blossom

Alligator Apple blossom, Everglades. (Annona Glabra) This tropical tree is pond apple or alligator apple. When ripe, the yellow fruits are edible, but only for those who enjoy the taste of turpentine. Turtles and alligators feed on pond apples when they fall. The wood is very buoyant and has been used for net floaters and bobbers for fishing lines, earning the tree another name:-corkwood.
