Walking by this tree today, I wondered at the contrasting shapes in nature.
To protect the fruit of the tree, the treet growes hundreds of torns some the size of 3 inches.
In contrast to the fruit, which starts as a green oval shape the size of a pear,
Then when opening there is a floppy white cotton looking ball inside.
That expands to to form a shape around 3 times the size of the fruit in awonderful and perfect pompom ball shape, ( as in photo above).
The cotton shape slowly loses its shape, break apart and falls to the ground.
Later on the fruit will bloom to form beautiful white flower.
Great pictures.
