the Judas tree (PIPs)
The Judas tree displays an unusual characteristic, called cauliflory, that sets it apart from most other plants. In spring, its bright pink flowers sprout directly from the bark on the trunk and branches, a strategy that is thought to make it easier for crawling insects to act as pollinators too. This time of year the flowers are long gone, of course, but the rusty coloured seed pods that have taken their place still illustrate this unusual phenomenon.
