The Cascalote Tree

 

I took these photos at the end of December at the Desert Botanical Garden when the cascalote tree that I like so much was in full bloom.  I love to sit at one of the table under the tree and watch the birds and be bees loving all those pretty yellow blooms.  

I also enjoy seeing those yellow blooms against a lovely blue sky.

It's one of those trees that feeds all kinds of needs.  The bees are busy gathering the pollen, the tiny little verdin birds feed on the centers of the blooms and then the larger birds like to gather the blooms that fall to the ground.  It also feeds the human need for spring colors in the winter months.  It serves an abundance of needs.

It certainly is a beautiful tree, which shares more than it's loveliness. I also agree, the yellow against the blue is striking.
