Flowering Trees of Ruskin Part 3

Beautiful shade tree with
yellow tiny flowers in bloom during August.

Still looking for a name.


Still looking

A light Yellow Mimosa by the water.
  Next view is a close up.


Down by the brackish waters edge,
 Yellow Mimosa - Albizia lebbeck


Fascinating tree with bark that literally peels off
 and hangs by threads. It also has a smell you will never forget.
Not pleasent and really loud some 30 feet away.
Melaleuca leucadendron - Punk Tree


This tree has a bloom like a Button bush, 
 very large with fern like branches
I think this is an Acacia.


Melaleuca quinervia with lots of
  blooms very much like a cream colored bottlebrush.
This was taken in September.


Some consider the Castor Bean a bush,
 but in Ruskin, ya know, we grow'em bigger and better,
so here is a partial picture of a row of Castor Beans
 along with a Yellow Water Primrose.


                                                        It is now the first week in October   
and this tree is just starting to bloom.
Will do some more checking before I post a name.
