I pass this odd tree every day as I drive past the President's grounds. For a long time I really thought that someone had tied these boomerang shapes onto the tree. And in that bizarre, abstract way of idle thoughts, this would cross my mind every time I passed by. This went on for a long time until I noticed that the hanging blooms changed over the months into small, ball like things. If anyone visiting this site has any idea what this tree might be, please post and let me know. I've never seen it anywhere else and I've become very attached to it and its strange offerings. This little orchid just blooms and blooms and blooms. She is so cheerful and her resilience in rain or shine just seems so pioneer like to me.
My daughter and I saw this same tree last time we went for a walk in the Botanical Gardens...I think there's a label on it saying it's a bootlace tree.
