RE: Durban's Summer Flowering Trees
Those are some really beautiful trees! Must be heavenly to walk amidst them! Are most of the quite fragrant? (I noticed you said the brides bush and powder puff was, how about the others?
Lovely to see the different trees from the other side of the world!
Thanks for sharing!
Purple flowers too high up in the tree to get the fragrance, will have to be more observant in future.
Many of our very strong perfumed flowers appear to attract bats which we don't often see being dark, we do notice them sometimes at dusk hovering around certain trees, never seen them settle.
Interesting!
I put up a bat house to try attract more bats around our place to eat some of the massive amounts of mosquitoes we get here. Do you have much of a mosquito problem there?
Mosquitoes are international, I am sure not matter where I go in the world they find me. Certain regions over here you need malaria tablets before going into area.
Putting up an owl house we found the vervet monkeys destroy everything, never heard of a bat house, although I have seen bats flying out of the roof next door many years ago, where they must have found shelter.
