Illawarra Flame Tree - Simply Red.

in #brachychiton7 years ago

The Illawara Flame tree ( Brachychiton acerifolius ) is in full flower now in Sydney. It is spectacular with it's red flowers. This is an Australian native tree, and occurs naturally in the Sub-tropical regions on the East Coast of Australia and also New Guinea , growing up to 30 metres in height. After flowering, it develops large seed pods which provide food for native birds. There are 31 different species if this tree, but this one is probably the most colourful. This tree was not far from where i live.new 2 046.JPGnew 2 048.JPG

Amazing what on other part of the world is growing. Love the gentleness and petite red colour.

My nature knowledge is basic but I presume here lives and nests Kookabura? I just remembered how you show us even more shiny ones few months ago.

Good observation mate ! Yes that is a nest there, maybe a Currawong or a Magpie. Kookaburras usually nest in tree hollows.

Internet tells me that currawong is authentic for your place but magpie we have too in Europe. I imagine the black suit of currawong goes well with this gentle red colour of how you say simply red tree.

@ctrl-alt-nwo Can you notice the resemblance with your tree?

I wanted to make the analogy.The environment provides a lot of benefits to a tree so that allows himself to be taken advantage of

This kind of bare tree is known as. I guess it is because they do not have leaves. it really has a very nice image. Even when it has been laid. @ctrl-alt-nwo
