Letters from America

Sunday 9 December 2018

There is a street tree that I like very much called Brush Box.  It is originally a rainforest tree but it is planted a lot by local councils and so now it flourishes in the suburbs.  This is a photo I pinched from Google and I think it’s a street somewhere in the inner West.

The Brush Box trees are in flower now.  Here is a close up I took of the blossom.  There are five rounded petals similar to a tea tree blossom and then there are five delicate fronds for stamens that extend out way beyond the petals like starfish arms.
