Was up at our local nursery and they have this tree growing there. They don't know what it is...Kinda cool, but it's covered in thorns !! Yikes... !!



Sorry about the quality of the pics. Was very cloudy and raining so light levels inside the greenhouse were very low, even w/ flash fill in didn't help alot.

Wow, that is an interesting tree with pretty blooms. I've googled and searched and looked at hundreds of pictures but I couldn't find a match ... I'll be watching to see if someone comes up with an ID for this one!

Aha ... I think I found it: Wercklea (Wercklea ferox)

edited to say: I submitted a little information for the database, there's currently only one photo there so your photo's would be a great asset to that entry!

I'd just about given up trying to search for a look-alike when I stumbled upon Wercklea! It sure is a pretty tree, I love the leaves as much as the blooms ... just not one for thorns.
