The Traveler's Palm, not a palm, but related to bananas and bird of paradise. The leaves and flowers collect rainwater that flows into the plant's stem base, ready to aid a thirsty traveler - hence the name. Outdoor pond, Malacca Catholic church, Malacca, Malaysia

Cannonball Tree, East Coast Beach, SingaporeThe very unusual Cannonball Tree Couroupita guianensis – a wonderfully unique flowering fruit tree growing on East Coast Beach, Singapore. The flowers are about 5″ wide and develop in massive 12 foot-long bunches. The fruit is about 8 – 10 inches across, and apparently has a very unpleasant odor. The tree has been regarded as sacred in India for thousands of years, and the bark, leaves and fruit have been used medicinally as a disinfectant; even believed to cure diseases like malaria.

Spurge, variety Blackbird

Spurge, variety Blackbird. With a name sounding more like an illness than a fun plant to have in the garden, the flowers keep producing two out of the one before it. Dr. Suess was surely inspired by plants like this.

I recently watched a very interesting documentary about the perilous state of our planet, and things we can do to affect the course of necessary change. Narrated by Leonardo Dicaprio I highly recommend seeing this film,  The 11th Hour
