On Wednesdays all over the internet bloggers post a photo with no words to explain it. The idea is the photo says so much it doesn’t need a description.

Makes me yearn for the tropical countries! Or at least countries were snow in spring is considered weird 🙂

I would usually agree with you, Maria but this year I raced home last week from Fort Myers hoping to see some snow before spring got into full swing!

What an amazing tree, things like this always make me wonder why they evolved in such a bizarre way. I’ve read on wiki that the fruit can be eaten and can float to other islands. Thanks Cheryl 🙂

How sad that the edible fruit is purely decorative landscaping in Fort Myers FLA. I read that it tastes similar to coconut, Gilly.

They are pretty wonderful … Pandanas Dubias is what Elizabeth discovered. Those supporting roots and odd pods match up perfectly with the images in this link: https://summerhibiscus.net/nutornamentalshadepalm/pandanus-dubius/

Pandanas dubius? (Just a guess from googling images of tropical trees.) I do love trying to identify plants so thanks for this challenge!

I think you got it, Elizabeth. Thanks. Looked at this link: https://summerhibiscus.net/nutornamentalshadepalm/pandanus-dubius/ and those odd pods are exactly what I saw.

Prop roots supporting the base – how interesting! I assumed they were the kind of roots that spread and create a whole network of trees – not sure what they’re called – and had never heard of prop roots before.

How cool — in a very warm weather way. I want to know more!
