Couroupita guianensis
The cannonball tree a deciduous tree that loses its leaves in the winter. You can see it’s new leaves meaning winter is just about over. The flowers lack nectar but produce 2 types of pollen, sterile pollen which female carpenter bees collect to feed their larvae and while doing so subsequently fertile pollen is deposited on their heads and backs where it is rubbed onto the female part (stigma) of the next flower visited. The process of pollination results in giant cannonball fruits!
