This is the back road I take to Beaus, vets office, because it is on the Road To The Beach. OY VEY! The Traffic. none here though.
I pulled under the Silk Floss Tree also known as Ceiba speciosa
and left the car there to pick up Beaus RX from the vet. I go once a month. In a past
I showed you the orchid like flowers it grows. This time it was the sun on the thorns.
I LOVE THIS TREE
Joining Rosy and Sunny at LLB for Nature Friday
I have never ever been the first to comment! What's up.
ReplyDeleteOkay I love, love, love that tree. I have a thing for trees. It seems in Florida that you get the most unusual flora and fauna. Hope you had a nice birthday!

ReplyDeleteYikes, wouldn't want to bump into this fellow on a dark night without a torch! Fascinating, though. YAM xx
"Sun on the thorns" ... I love that! Your close-up immediately made me think of a rhino. Mother Nature sure has a sense of humor when she creates some of the flora and fauna.
ReplyDeleteDid you have a nice birthday?
That tree is really amazing, I've not seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing tree, the thorns look dangerous. The flowers are pretty. Take care, have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange tree. I can see why it's one of your favorites. Very cool. Good photos too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so lazy now I order all our doggie med's on-line via 1-800-petmeds. For us, it saves money because we're so far away from the Vet.
Hope y'all are having a great day. 💙
I've never seen anything like it - except for your previous post about it (on which I said the same thing... lol)
ReplyDeleteOh my GOSH! I have never seen such thick, bulging thorns!!! You got really good shots, otherwise I would never have believed it. And the opposition between the big thorns and lovely delicate flowers, oy vey!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those thorns are something else! I've never seen a tree like that. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really cool looking tree but those thorns look deadly. I checked the link and the flowers it gets are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery unusual looking tree, that is probably only found in Florida. Pretty flowers. That tree is a weapon with those thorns. Scary
ReplyDeleteThat looks even worse than a Monkeypuzzle tree. Are they really hard spikes? (Might explain why you don't have footpaths - who'd want to risk walking into that?!)
ReplyDeleteYour mission should you live long enough is to count the thorns!
ReplyDeleteYour nearby neighbourhood is a pretty place. That tree is very strange. I would not like to bump into it. :(
ReplyDeleteThat’s a great tree! I can think of a few politicians I’d like to have climb it!
ReplyDeleteOuch! That Thorn Tree would be a painful thing to bump into for sure! It's very interesting and I've never seen one before, but I truly do not want one growing in MY yard! LOL. God sure has a sense of humor in all of the things He has created!! Thank you for sharing this with us. Now I've seen everything! LOL. Well, probably not, but that's just a saying, of course. LOL. Good night dear friend.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is an amazing tree!
