Broccoli Tree

Actually it looks like a broccoli/cauliflower hybrid, writ large.

 

I asked around for answers as to what this is called.

 

Mary says “Crepe myrtle.”

 

Tom says: Melaleuca linariifolia. Also known as Paperbark or "snow in summer" tree. www.marinatreeandgarden.org/treelist/melaleuca_l.html
