CHORISIA (VARIEGATED)

These are variegated leaves of the Chorisia trees at the Hub. I love the downhanging rain drops along the branches, petioles and leaves.

CALABASH & AXONOPUS

Crescentia cujete

There are two species of Crescentia in the Supertree Grove - the C. cujete (Common Name: Calabash Tree) and the unusual C. alata (Common Name: Mexican Calabash Tree) with strikingly shaped and coloured flowers typical of the Bignoniaceae Family.
