Schotia brachpetalaurban

Schotia brachpetala - Weeping Boer Bean - Tree Fuschia - the floor of my little forest is red with all the fallen flowers


These flowers are full of nectar - the wild life around this tree when it flowers is just unbelievable. Full of Sun birds, Bee eaters, Mannikums, White eyes, Louries all after the nectar or the searching for others after the nectar such as bees, butterflies and beatles.
