African Tulip Tree

Yesterday afternoon, just before the rain, I noticed this seedpod on my African Tulip Tree.
Our neighbour has one of these.
Now we have 2 that have grown from seeds over the past 20 years.
I quite like the collage.
I will post the flowers when they bloom.

What a nice trio of pictures... I don't believe I've ever seen one of these, so am looking forward to the big reveal!

Eliot says "woof" and I say "What an amazing set of pictures!" I have never seen anything like that before. It is quite amazing.

I love this Lois. Your pictures showing prgression in growing/blooming are really interesting. This is even better having the 3 together. Don't we learn so much here?

What a cool seed pod! I love how you created your collage with three different croppings. Beautiful as usual!

Great shot Lois - as a child I would love jumping on the seed pods and making them explode!
