Day 72


Dombeya

Strawberry Snowball

Native to Africa and Madagascar, it's name commemorates French botanist and explorer Joseph Dombey (1742-1794).  The Dombeya is a narrow upright tree whose flowers drop to the ground before they dry so it makes a beautiful and colorful bed of flowers.  It also boasts large maple-like leaves.
