Ferns

Ferns.....what can I say about the ferns? One thing I know is that they don't have beautiful flowers like other plants do. They are also differ from seed plants in their mode of reproduction - lacking flowers and seeds. They can be found in moist, shady forests; crevices in rock surfaces; swampy areas, and also tropical trees.
Ferns are vascular plants which get their water, minerals and photosynthetic products through lignified tissues. Vascular plants have vascular tissues which circulate resources through the plant.















Delonix regia 鳳凰木

Delonix regia is a beautiful flowering tree, with fern-like leaves and fiery red flowers. It is also called Flame of the forest or peacock flowers. The flowers are big and in very striking red color. It makes great ornament tree and a great sight to see when it is in full bloom. It can also provide shades as the tree has dense leaves and the branches spread widely.
