ASTEROMYRTUS SYMPHYOCARPA (F. MUELL.) CRAVEN

This looks like the uncommon Asteromyrtus symphyocarpa (synonym: Melaleuca symphyocarpa; common name: Liniment Tree; Family: Myrtaceae) that was planted at HortPark's Water Garden. The strange but very unusual inflorescence and yellowish flowers are a sight to behold.

YELLOW

Yellow, a colour that I really love, was the theme of the day.

I do not know what is the tree with yellow flowers. Could it be a Tabebuia? Anyway, the trumpet-shaped flowers are beautiful.

The 4th photo showed the split-fruit of the Gardenia tubifera, where the unripe green fruit was shown in the same photo towards the top right-hand side.

There were 3 yellow plants in the 5th photo. In the foreground, there was the fine needle-like leaved Melaleuca bracteata 'Revolution Gold' on the left and the big-leaved Pisonia alba on the right. Towards the center looked like the yellow-flower but green-leaved Cassia surattensis.

The last photo showed the same Cassia that was pruned and trained as a standard plant.

MYRTACEAE

This tree at the Raffles Building area produced beautiful new pink flushes of fine leaves that would soon turn green.

Meanwhile, I was just appreciating the underrated beauty of this tree, which I guess to be a Melaleuca.
