HORSFIELDIA IRYA

A number of Horsfieldia irya in the garden were flowering last month.

SOUTHERN RIDGES 6

This is the end stretch of the Southern Ridges trail. There are many open areas where new trees with coloured leaves were deliberately planted.


It was also here where I spotted an unassuming Chestnut Bob skipper butterfly on the Clidemia hirta weed. There was also another unknown tree with interesting fruits and the familiar Claoxylon indicum that I often see from Alexandra Road. The Horsfieldia irya trees were also fruiting.


Finally, we crossed the Alexandra Arch and reached the last destination HortPark.

I posted on this uncommon tree before and now these ones are fruiting. Wow!

This is the first time I am posting photos of the entire trail through HortPark.
