Round `n'
about with
Martha
"Spring" is another
experience in the warmer
climate. I have seen so
many in our temperate
climate - and enjoyed
every one of them - that
going through winter into
spring down here gives
you the thrill of your life,
especially when you hope
to see spring up north too.
There axe a great many
trees and'shrubs that are
blooming and bearing
fruit in a crazy cycle the
whole year. Not like our
plants that take months
td go from bloom to seed,
these trees have
everything happening at
the same time. You pick
the fruit and smell the
blossoms too.
• The banana tree, goes
quickly through its cycle.
It - for what I have ob-
served here - stops
blooming after the fruit
gets to a certain size, then
by the time it ripens, the
blossom is there again. I
' haven't seen any ripe
bananas on a tree since
they seem to disappear
while they are still quite
green.
In our area there are
several maple trees.
They don't look quite like
our maple trees but at the
moment they have
brilliant light red seed
wings ready to scatter.
The bark is very light and
smooth.
Nearby , are some
papain trees that already
have fruit hanging like
large coconuts - and the
.Martha _..Rathburn_.__
blossoms hanging above
the fruit are so sweet and
fragrant, they're over-
powering.
Before Christmas, a
friend gave me several
branches of flowers from
one of the trees. The
blossom looks just like
the hyacinth bloom but
larger hanging on a long,
- quite softstem, these
were about two feet long,
the stems that is, and a
creamy white color. I put
"them ,in a tall bottle and
they hung down to the
table - they can't do
anything but hang, .. so
they are seldom picked.
A few blocks away is a
large Kapoc tree - I recall
telling you , about this
large tree with the giant
red flowers a sight to
see. This tree seems to
bloom in the spring only.
Recently I saw some
trees I hadn't seen in the
Venice:Sarasota area.
This 'was 50 or- 60 miles
south of here in the
Naples -Fort Meyers
area. One that puzzled
me had seed pods that
broke open like our
walnut tree seeds or nuts
with five sections of tough
outer skin.
The pods of the walnut
tree are tough - but these
were like hardwood
(masonite). I couldn't
believe - after picking up
the five sections of a pod
that had burst perhaps,,
just hours before, that
they could straighten out
and be so hard in so short
a time. •
I believe I found the
right name for this tree
but now I've forgotten
whether it was West
Indies or Indian
Mahogany tree. When the
outer shell bursts, the
seed wings are exposed
and they fly away like
feathers on the breeze.
Well, I haven't seen any
robins. I think they must
go much farther south
and make their touch-
downs briefly on their
way north. Seems it was
in March last year when I
saw the flock - staggering
around -, drunk from
eating the fruit of the
pepper tree. 4
