"Yellow" African Tulip Tree Blossoms
Yellow African Tulip Tree
The above photo gives you an idea of how tall this Yellow African Tulip Tree can grow. The close-up shot of the blossoms themselves are not a true yellow, but they are more yellow than the orange-red ones that I have photographed and painted in the past.
Pink Cassia Tree Blossoms
These pink blossoms on the Cassia tree are my favorite; the yellow Cassia blooms are nice, but not as dramatic as the pink. Below is a close-up of the yellow Cassia tree flowers.

Orange Flowered Cassia Tree
The shot directly above is of the Orange blossomed Cassia Tree. They are rather nice, aren't they!
I am not getting too technical about each tree on purpose. Hope you are enjoying these photographs.
Guess what kind of tree the blossoms below are found on ?
Nutmeg Tree Flowers
On previous visits to Foster Botanical Gardens I had seen the "fruit" of the Nutmeg Tree; this visit last week found me in awe of the unusual flowers on this "spice" tree. Below is a shot of the nutmeg tree in bloom.

Information about flowering trees would not be complete unless I included the Plumeria tree.
Rainbow Plumeria Tree
Some rainbow plumeria flowers have more pronounced and vivid and distinct color variations on each bloom, so I am hoping I am correct in that this is a "rainbow" plumeria. Regardless, it is beautiful ! Plumerias are found everywhere in the Hawaiian islands in white, pink, red, and yellow. It is time I do another oil painting with plumeria blossoms !
Just for fun I am including the photo below of some cattle egrets that are always to be found at Foster Botanical Gardens. I don't know what kind of tree they are sitting in; I must go back and find out. But the tree in the background with pink blooms is probably a Cassia tree.
I could make many more posts here with the treasures found at Foster Gardens. Check back again soon.
