Gumbo Limbo

A/k/a The Tourist Tree because the bark turns red and peels!

Today was a day of work, rest and church. I am tired and I was so unhappy with the few photos I took today that I am uploading this wonderful Gumbo Limbo from yesterday. What a mighty tree.
What a cool tree! Like your perspective.

Beautiful shot...and educational, too!! I've not heard of this kind of tree. Learning so much on this site!

What an interesting shot this makes with an interesting story to follow. Glad you got to rest today.

@lynnb It is a cool tree. This one, in particular, was the most beautiful one I have seen. Stopped me in my tracks.

@anazad511 You probably have many in your area? Not so many here, but more are being planted.

@marlboromaam Thank you, Maggie!

@raineyday I think it only grows in S. Fla. Even the people here have not heard much of it. When I planted one in my yard after the hurricane, suddenly several neighbors planted one, too.

@dreams Thank you, Karen. Yes, I got some well needed rest. Better today.

@ianwm54 Thank you so much, Ian!

@anden Thanks for all your wonderful comments! Greatly appreciated.
