For those who might care to indulge, Batch 5 has been uploaded.

ETA to fix the wrong bloody URL, gah. *blush*

Eeee!!!! That's so cute!! Time for me to update with my baby too.

Do those pods grow on the trees down there? (We have one in the music box at Ellen's preschool.)

Oh, absolutely.

Here's a good photo of the pods still on the tree:

And here's a young tree in someone's back yard:

Here's an open pod (it looks like it's been sitting on the ground for a while):

Lastly, an older tree with great ambition:

Yes! And the seeds are going to make wonderful beads, if I can ever get that started; the trees themselves are hurricane-adapted, and also incredible shade, because they umbrella.

Can you believe people complain about them killing grass and dropping their leaflets? They go bright yellow and turn the ground gold, like a pontillistic painting. It looks great, to me -- some people are way too fussy.

My current fav "You want me to what where?" Batch4pg2pic8. I would live and breathe that puppy which is why this is the closest I will get to actually owning one.

Oh and the Poincianas, bought one for my spouse as a father's day gift. Turns out he's ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE (can you hear him complaining from here?).

You can breathe Gemma on Friday... she'll give you kisses! (Then bite your ear.)

One of THOSE. Bah.
