The firmiana malayana or mata lembu, remains here in testimony to man's care-less-ness - its tree had since been felled. Let not the birds leave too.

Wild wild bloom

The wild mangosteen tree was in full bloom.  The flowers were gorgeous.  It was simply irresistible not to stop and admire such beauty.





This seems to be the only wild mangosteen tree in the taman and I wonder if it was planted by intent.  The flowers do drop profusely but it does make a colourful carpet on the ground, and the flowering doesn't seem to lead to any fruiting.
