Cerbera odallum Apocynaceae. This picture of the Pong Pong tree was taken along the coast of Semakau. Along the long stretch of beach forest, there’d be several individuals and their white flowers are just so beautiful to behold. Somehow, they don’t look so good planted along the wayside.
Inspired by Otterman’s recent artful entries on the sea hibiscus “Blooming Sea Hibiscus” and “Flowers of the Sea hibiscus”, I couldn’t resist taking this picture at Semakau. It really is photogenic.
