Well not entirely but this is a flower from the Cannonball tree. Its flower reaches out from spiky tentacles’ that protrude from the truck, all the way to the top. Native to South America it grows well in our tropical climate. Besides the flowers it also has cannonball like fruit growing all the way up too, making it quite an unusual tree and one that certainly stands out. It has been known to have some medicinal purposes as well. Containing qualities of antibiotic, antifungal, antiseptic and analgesic, the juices from the fruit used to cure the common cold. It is one of those trees that beauty may be in the beholder but the true beauty lies underneath.
