This is the silk floss tree that grows in our front garden..
We said that we
needed some shade...
needed some shade...
It started its life in a wee plastic pot....
and now we've created a monster!!
.
what were we thinking?
you might be saying...
I thought that this looked like a little bird...
emerging from its glossy green bark...
But in spite of its gargantuan proportions,
and those ginormous thorns....
it has a poetic beauty...
a seasonal splendor that contiually changes.
and does indeed provide us with shade...
And also a heck of alot of comments..
