Description
Another bit of esoteric flora, captured 5/8/11, at the Fullerton Arboretum, situated on the beautiful campus of California State University Fullerton in beautiful Fullerton, California.
Worth a ZOOM.
Note how the popsicle shaped buds burst and peel off like a banana.
I used to use a shaving brush with soap in a mug, but now use shaving cream and gel from aerosol cans.
Tallyho, thankx for dropping by, and for any and all favs and laudatory comments.

Really cool capture Harry, and I had never seen this type tree before and really found how the buds peel back fascinating.
How extremely interesting! I love those shapes.
Wow i agree interesting and brilliant captures !!
Very different flower and super collage Harry. The banana peel part is very unique. Great find. Dana
Harry this is one interesting looking tree! Wow...I was just thinking as I was looking at this, some of the things right here in the USA are as foriegn to me as the things I am seeing here in the UK. Incredible. Thanks for sharing!
Great detail--I always wondered what these were called.
These tropical trees are always fascinating....and makes for one terrific collage.
Such a great group of photo's Harry of this very unique tree!
I seen the shaving brush with soap in a mug in old ads and in the old movies. this flowers is lovely
i have never seen this flower /tree ,she looks beautiful... thanks for details !
Beautiful blossoms. Excellent and interesting shots of a tree I never saw before.
I love arboretums. I wish there was one near me. Beautiful images! Wonderful colors and details. I've never seen this kind of tree before. It has interesting and colorful bark. Pictures number 3 and 4 are my favorites. Three has beautiful composition. I like the way the closed bud is right next to the one that has opened and you can picture it opening too. I like the way the curled back leaves are wrapped around the lower bud. On number 4, I love the tightly curled leaves. Beautiful clarity on all the images. Lovely group!
No! Never heard of it! Ever! Well done again, you have caught me out lol Yep, it does look like a brush indeed.. Cool! Great collage! Rob
Wow very interesting. great work!
Mega unusual...great series of photos to show us what this strange creation is all about. Light, colors, detail...A-1!
Wowzie! I've never seen or heard of this particular type of tree, what a cool thing, in all its parts! And I took some classes at Cal State Fullerton way back in about 1972 or so... Excellent illustrative collage, Harry!
How interesting, the development of the 'Banana-Popsicle' ! - I have never seen anything like it either, simply, a marvellous collage, BB
