ONLY PHOTOS CLOSED

I am going to close ONLY PHOTOS. I don't know if I will be back with this blog. I have some others projects I need to focus on for a while so I had not time to update this blog. I do hope that you can continue reading and visiting my Main Blog, LEAVES OF GRASS. Many thanks to all my friends that have been visited and left generous comments, very much appreciated!

RAIN OF GOLD - CHUVA DE OURO

This beautiful tree in my garden is a native tree from Brazil, named Canafístula or Chuva-de-Ouro (mean in English "Rain of Gold"). The Cassia ferruginea, from the family Leguminosae-Caesalpinoideae, bears the most flagrant flowers, which are arranged in hanging racemes. The flowers appear in October, November and December. Beside the Chuva-de-Ouro stands the exuberant Mango Tree.
