Pink Ceiba, the flowers of the world's fastest growing tree! The inside of its trunk is so soft that it has 4 inch spikes to protect it from predators... giving it its nickname, Monkey Tree, because a agile monkey can climb it!
The Ceiba tree figures an important part in the mythologies of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures. Several Amazonian tribes of eastern Peru believe deities live in Ceiba tree species throughout the jungle. The Maya civilization believed that Yaaxché, often depicted as a Ceiba trunk, connects the planes of the Underworld (Xibalba), the terrestrial realm and the skies. Unmistakable clusters of thick conical thorns on the Ceiba trunk were reproduced during the Classical Period on ceramic burial urns and incense holders by the southern lowland Maya.
Modern Maya still respectfully leave the tree standing when harvesting forest timber. The Ceiba tree is represented by a cross and serves as an important architectural motif in the Temple of the Cross Complex at Palenque.
Ceiba pentandra produces a light and strong fiber (kapok) used throughout history to fill life preservers, mattresses, pillows, tapestries, and dolls. Kapok has recently been replaced in commercial use by synthetic fibers. The oils of Ceiba seeds are extracted to make soap and fertilizers. The Ceiba continues to be commercialized in Asia especially in Java, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines.

The picturesque Janjehli is placed at an elevation of 2150 Mtr. A beautiful lush green valley having agricultural fields on its gentle slopes, apple orchards, hills covered with pine and deodar trees. A must visit when in Janjehli is ShikariDevi temple. This small path leading to the temple was a nature lovers delight. Mist surrounds the place with rays finding their way through the mist and trees to give some light to the area, covered also with green vegetation on the side of the path going uphill, was so soul stirring and peaceful.

Afternoon sunlight strikes the foot of the pandanus tree with its many 'toes' aka above ground thick prop roots. In turn, the unique trees and foliage draw attention to the fast flowing ocean water flooding the bottom of the gorge, as well as the rocky formations opposite the trees, highlighting the attractive subtropical/tropical tree as salt tolerant.
The gorge is part of the gorge walk at Nth Stradbroke Island, off subtropical Brisbane, more than halfway up the east coast of Australia. It's a great walk winding around the hilly headland with awesome ocean views. Here, of the gorge itself as the boardwalk comes down to a lower level here to see the water in action, and sea turtles that are often seen riding the waves and diving.

Plumeria with rain drops in Tustin, California.
Plumerias are tropical trees famous for their gorgeous flowers which are used to make leis. In regions with cold winters, plumerias can be grown in containers and brought indoors when the weather cools in autumn. Other common names are frangipani and Hawaiian lei flower.
A Fern leaf that thinks it is a (Christmas?) tree... lol.
It came in a mixed flower-bouquet, I loved the way it looked so much that I put it in a separate vase, lovely... and sprayed it gold!
There are four particular types of habitats that ferns are found in: moist, shady forests; crevices in rock faces, especially when sheltered from the full sun; acid wetlands including bogs and swamps; and tropical trees. I often see them on roofs, walls, places where NOTHING else grows.
Ferns have been studied and found to be useful in the removal of heavy metals, especially arsenic, from the soil.
Thanx for your time and visit, (*_*)

Jacaranda mimosifolia is a sub-tropical tree native to south-central South America that has been widely planted elsewhere because of its attractive and long-lasting violet-colored flowers.
The flowers are up to 5 cm (2 in) long, and are grouped in 30 cm (12 in) panicles. They appear in spring and early summer, and last for up to two months.
The Common Screwpine (Pandanus utilis) is a tropical tree native to Madagascar. Contrary to its name, it is NOT a pine and doesn't even look like a pine. It is sometimes called a Madagascar Screw-Pine. Interestingly, like corn plants, it has prop roots to hold it up. They become woody and gnarly and strong enough to face up to tropical winds! Believe it or not, Albert is holding onto and standing among some very tall prop roots beside Pandanus Lake at Fairchild Garden!
Notice the long leaves with sharply serrated edges and the ridged, twisting trunks.

Brachychiton (kurrajong, bottletree) is a genus of 31 species of trees and large shrubs, native to Australia and New Guinea. Fossils from New South Wales and New Zealand are estimated to be 50 million years old, corresponding to the Paleogene.
They grow to 4 to 30m tall, some are dry-season deciduous. Several species (though not all) are pachycaul plants with a very stout stem for their overall size, used to store water during periods of drought.
All species are monoecious with separate male and female flowers on the same plant. The flowers have a bell-shaped perianth consisting of a single series of fused lobes which is regarded as a calyx despite being brightly colured in most species. The female flowers have five separate carpels that can each form a woody fruit containing several seeds. The flower color is often variable within species. Eastern forest species drop their foliage before flowering but those of the drier regions carry the flowers while in leaf.
The name Brachychiton is derived from the Greek brachys, short, and chiton, tunic, referring to its loose seed coats. Kurrajong comes from Dharuk garrajuŋ "fishing line", as fishing lines were made from kurrajong bark.

It's been quite the rainy season so far with days on end of torrential rain and lots of localised flooding. Phuket has not been the tropical paradise of your imagination just lately!
It has been a little while since I have really had time to relax and do my own decor project. In the Summer of 2013, me and Rico took a trip to the Lincoln Observatory one glorious afternoon here in Chicago. As we walked through, looking at all the tropical trees and plant varieties, I said to Rico, ''Wouldn't it be amazing to live in something like this, surrounded by all of this greenery''. Well, 7 months later, I am finally creating something like that for us both in world. Not done yet, but yeah..won't be long

Cassia fistula, commonly known as golden shower, purging cassia, Indian laburnum, or pudding-pipe tree is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. The species is native to the Indian subcontinent and adjacent regions of Southeast Asia, from southern Pakistan through India and Sri Lanka to Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand. It is a popular ornamental plant and is also used in herbal medicine.
Cassia fistula is widely grown as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical areas. It blooms in late spring/early summer in hot, dry weather. Flowering is profuse, with trees being covered with yellow flowers, many times with almost no leaf being seen. It grows well in dry climates. Growth for this tree is best in full sun on well-drained soil; it is relatively drought-tolerant and slightly salt-tolerant. It will tolerate light brief frost, but can get damaged if the cold persists. It can be subject to mildew or leaf spot, especially during the second half of the growing season. The tree blooms better with pronounced differences between summer and winter temperatures.

Cresta de Gallo is an isolated island off the remote and larger Sibuyan Island in Romblon province. It was a challenge to get here but well worth the hassle.
It's dedicated to My friend bebalance;for his memories around this place.
This offshoot of the Bogor Botanical Gardens was founded in 1862 to study mountain flora. The cinchona (a tropical tree belonging to the madder family) was first brought from South America in 1854 and later cultivated here.
The collection now showcases 5,000 montane plants acquired from around the world. At an altitude of 1,200 meters, the serene pastures stretch more than 80 hectares and see cool temperatures averaging 18 degrees Celsius. The charming mountainside panorama adds to the tranquility. This is a gateway to the Gede-Pangrango National Park, Mount Gede and Mount Pangrango.

"Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, O Please!
A song of ships, and sailor men,
And parrots, and tropical trees,
Of islands lost in the Spanish Main
Which no man ever may find again,
Of fishes and corals under the waves,
And seahorses stabled in great green caves.
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing of the things you know so well."

The Royal Poinciana tree is also known as a Flamboyan here in Florida. It had just rained and the clouds were still heavy so these flowers are loaded with water droplets.
The Black-cheeked Woodpecker (Melanerpes pucherani) is a vibrant resident of humid tropical forests stretching from southern Mexico to northwestern South America. I photographed this individual in Capurganá, Chocó, Colombia—a coastal village where dense rainforest meets the Caribbean Sea. The woodpecker had landed briefly on the trunk of a palm tree, its red crown illuminated by a shaft of natural light. The soft green backdrop of the forest created a natural vignette, letting the bird’s posture and color command the frame.
This image was taken with the Canon EOS R5 using the RF 800mm lens paired with a 1.4x extender, giving me 1120mm of reach. With the aperture fixed at f/16, I raised the ISO to 3200 to manage the dim conditions under canopy cover. The camera selected a shutter speed of 1/180 second—just fast enough to freeze the moment without motion blur. Working handheld at that focal length is always a challenge, but I relied on stability, timing, and luck to catch this clean composition before the bird darted off. It’s one of those brief, beautiful encounters that makes fieldwork so rewarding.
