STERCULIA RUBIGINOSA

Sterculia trees are one of my recent favourites.

These photos were taken at HortPark's Flora Stitches on 26 Jan 10. The clusters of small flowers are just so pretty and unusual. The branches have prominent stipules at the base of the leaves.

One of my wishes is to be able to showcase an entire range of Sterculias at HortPark. Check out the park if you want to see a few species of them.
