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.

I am always amazed by the root systems of tropical trees which seem to be as much above ground as below. The scale can be enormous as evidenced by the young woman photographing turtles in the lake
Cassia javanica, also known as Java cassia, pink shower, apple blossom tree and rainbow shower tree, is a species of tree in the family Fabaceae. Its origin is in Southeast Asia, but it has been extensively grown in tropical areas worldwide as a garden tree owing to its beautiful crimson and pink flower bunches.

Screwpines are fruiting beside the lake.
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.

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.

The beautiful feel of the place is evident from this shot of unspoilt picturesque small town of Janjehli in the Himalayas. A path uphill leading to a temple surrounded by a thick grove of tall trees engulfed by misty air is a perfect place for people seeking peace and pleasure for their soul and eyes.

Sweetgum, is a deciduous tree in the genus Liquidambar native to warm temperate areas of eastern North America and tropical montane regions of Mexico and Central America. Sweetgum is one of the main valuable forest trees in the southeastern United States, and is a popular ornamental tree in temperate climates. It is recognizable by the combination of its five-pointed star-shaped leaves (similar to maple leaves) and its hard, spiked fruits. It is currently classified in the plant family Altingiaceae, but was formerly considered a member of the Hamamelidaceae. This plant's genus name Liquidambar was first given by Linnaeus in 1753 from the Latin liquidus ('fluid') and the Arabic ambar ('amber'), in allusion to the fragrant terebinthine juice or gum which exudes from the tree. Its specific epithet styraciflua is an old generic name meaning 'flowing with storax' (a plant resin). The name "storax" has long been confusingly applied to the aromatic gum or resin of this species, that of L. orientalis of Turkey, and to the resin better known as benzoin from various tropical trees in the genus Styrax.
The sweetgum has a Nahuatl name, Ocotzocuahuitl, which translates to 'tree that gives pine resin' from ocotl ('pine'), tzotl ('resin'), cuahuitl ('tree'), which refers to the use of the tree's resin.
The common name "sweetgum" refers to the species' "sweetish gum",[9] contrasting with the blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), only distantly related, with which the sweetgum overlaps broadly in range. The species is also known as the "redgum", for its reddish bark. -source; Wikipedia

In Mae Charim National Park, located in Nan Province Thailand. The plant Cycas Circinallis is native to southern India and Sri Lanka, but the species name was formerly widely used for similar cycads in Thailand and Southeast Asia, which leads to confusion. Attention, the seed of Cycas Circinallis is poisonous. The potent poison in the seeds is removed by soaking them in water. Water from the first seed-soaking will kill birds, goats, sheep and hogs. Water from the following soakings is said to be harmless. Minimum of 5 Soakings needed to ensure the safety. After the final soaking, the seeds are dried and ground into flour. The flour is used to make tortillas, tamales, soup and porridge.

Foto van jonge scheuten van de Cycas Circinallis, deze plant komt oorspronkelijk uit Zuid-India en Sri Lanka, maar de soortnaam werd vroeger veel gebruikt voor soortgelijke Cycaden in Zuidoost-Azië, wat tot verwarring leidt. Let op, het zaad van Cycas Circinallis is giftig. Het krachtige gif in de zaden wordt verwijderd door ze in water te weken. Water van de eerste keer weken zal vogels, geiten, schapen en varkens doden. Water van de volgende weken zou onschadelijk zijn. Minimaal 5 weken nodig om de veiligheid te garanderen. Na het laatste weken worden de zaden gedroogd en vermalen tot meel. Het meel wordt gebruikt om tortilla's, tamales, soep en pap te maken.

Unknow species (I mean the tree). The little human is my granddaughter.
A giant baobab as I vaguely recall.
Any resemblance to "The Little Prince" by Antoine Saint-Exupéry is mere coincidence.
Excerpt from niagaraparks.com:
Niagara Parks, a global leader in horticulture since 1885, first opened two small wooden structures in 1894 for the purpose of growing seasonal plants for Queen Victoria Park. The first floral conservatory soon followed in 1897.
The Floral Showhouse you see today opened in November 1946, with the north and south houses added in 1951 and in June 1980, the front reception and gift shop opened featuring a large glass-enclosed ceiling allowing our horticulturalists to grow large palms and other tropical trees.
Today, the Floral Showhouse boasts several beautiful exhibits throughout the year with collections of orchids, ferns and tropical plants.
North + Centre Houses
The North and Centre houses host several unique floral exhibits throughout the year. Each display connects our horticultural expertise with the wonder of flowers and plants. Look for custom details that create a bit of whimsy for our guests!
Since their inception, these spaces within the Floral Showhouse have showcased an annual spring and fall display. Additional annual displays often celebrate holidays or give our plant experts the chance to connect with the local community and our international visitors with stories about Niagara Parks, the region, our partners, Ontario and Canada.
As many as 20,000 plants are grown annually for the Floral Showhouse and its conservatory spaces.
South House
Inside the South House, you’ll discover a myriad of stunning tropical plants. Explore palms, succulents and even some commonly known house plants.
What makes this space so special are the incredible orchids throughout the house. A symbol of elegance and perfection, they showcase blooms in a range of colour and sizes.
Life on Display
The Life on Display exhibit is an outdoor art installation of restored miniatures from Durham region’s former Cullen Miniature Village. The exhibit explores the complex cultivation of happiness in homes and gardens throughout the province.
Discover life-like representations of Ontario landmarks, as well as abstract interpretations of simple architectural details you’d see on homes throughout our province. And don’t forget everyone’s favourite: a working model train winding amongst the charming buildings and greenery.
All aboard! Originally built in the 1960’s, the train was part of Cullen Gardens & Miniature Village in Whitby, Ontario and was a major tourist attraction for 25 years. Every day, the train draws families to watch as it circles the 122-metre (400-foot) track and the tiny houses, schools and fire station it passes by.

This is a strange one! The tree is very large and tall but the flowers hang from stems 10 feet or so from the ground, so it feels like they are growing on a vine attached to the tree rather than the tree itself! These are called cauliflorous... flowers that grow from the trunk.
"In the rainforests of South American, fruits of the Cannonball tree sway and clash in the wind, creating loud noises like artillery fire! These fruits really do resemble big, rusty cannonballs as they hang in clusters on the side of the tree attached to rope like tangles that emerge directly from the trunk.
The Cannonball tree’s beautifully complex and fragrant flowers resemble huge orchids. At night the flowers become particularly pungent in order to attract swift-flying pollinators. This particular Cannonball tree was collected in 1913 at Jamaica’s Hope Gardens and has flourished at Fairchild since it was planted here in 1938."
Couroupita guianensis, whose common names include Ayahuma and the Cannonball Tree, is an evergreen tree allied to the Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa), and is native to tropical northern South America and to the southern Caribbean. In India it has been growing for the past two or three thousand years at least, as attested by textual records; hence it is possible that it is native to India also. It's part of the family Lecythidaceae and grows up to 25m (82ft) in height. The "Cannonball Tree" is so called because of its brown cannon-ball-like fruits. The majority of these trees outside their natural environment have been planted as a botanical curiosity, as they grow very large, distinctive flowers. Its flowers are orange, scarlet and pink in color, and form large bunches measuring up to 3m in length. They produce large spherical and woody fruits ranging from 15 to 24cm in diameter, containing up to 200 or 300 seeds apiece.

Excerpt from the brochure “Enoshima Tourist Map”:
Enoshima Samuel Cocking Garden and Enoshima Sea Candle (Lighthouse Observation Tower)
As this place was once owned by Samuel Cocking, a British merchant in 19th century, it is named after him.
Nowadays, the theme of this garden is “international exchange.” Some sections honor Fujisawa’s sister cities, containing a variety of seasonal flowers and tropical trees.
