Friday Fotos – Rainbow Eucalyptus in Foster Botanical Garden

By

Bark of Rainbow Eucalyptus
The bark of the Rainbow Eucalyptus, which only grows in warm, moist climates, can contain every color of the rainbow.

Rainbow Eucalyptus bark is a stunning display of color

The first time we saw a Rainbow Eucalyptus was on the Road to Hana. The trees were in a stand about a hundred yards from the road where our bus let us off to take a few photos. Even from that distance, we could tell the trees were something special.

During our visit to Foster Botanical Garden, we came across #17, the Rainbow Eucalyptus tree on display. This time, we were within several feet of the tree. It was easy to see how thin the bark is and how the color variations, which appear to be random, are sometimes intense and at other times subdued. The tree only grows in warm, humid environments such as Hawaii, parts of Southern California, Texas, and Florida.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
