| There's quite a few around here, but since they are out of bloom it's a bit trickier to spot one. The huge seed pods make them unmistakable once you have a candidate tree. Two easy to find trees come to mind in North county: in the middle of Green Thumb nursery in San Marcos, and in the parking lot lane in the Outlet mall off I-5 and Palomar Airport Rd in Carlsbad, between the shops and flower fields. It's a very beautiful tree, but I personally prefer a standard Cassia for the clouds of Sulfur butterflies that it attracts. =^,,^= diana |
