Taman Rimba Kiara is a little green gem located in a corner of the TTDI residential area. The above flowering tree, the firmiana malayana or mata lembu, flashes in testimony to man's care-less-ness - it's one of only two trees in the park that had flowered, since then the tree had been chopped down.

Offerings of the taman

This bare branch was dragged here to be a prop for a couple who were having their wedding photographs shot in the taman.  The surrounding sprawling trees definitely provide much needed shade for the bride and groom who were in their wedding finery.


     A couple of yards away I saw this young tree which reminded me of its aged version which unfortunately looked like it had been the victim of some nasty human action.



If the tree had been allowed to grow naturally it would have looked like the stately one below which I saw in the Kuala Selangor Nature Park.


     Another interesting nut-like fruit tree in the taman was the following, untouchable because not even the squirrel goes for it.
