NEWSPAPER OF A PERSONAL, ALTERNATIVE OPINION

Hello Contact First Name,

Ah, beautiful flowers! That's what I want to feature in my Morning Post today. I love looking at flowers, and that's why I started my gardening website, The Flowering Garden. In today's feature, we look at the Cannonball Tree. I photographed it last Sunday on a visit to the Penang Botanic Gardens. Thanks to help from my gardening enthusiast friend Clement Liang, I am able to identify and label the plants I shoot.

The Cannonball Tree is one of the most unusual trees at the Botanic Gardens. It is a native of French Guiana. To learn more about it, just click the link below. I have also added thumbnails to the other plants in The Flowering Garden, so now you can click away and enjoy the flowers from the comfort of your desktop.

Enjoy the flowers and share them with your friends! Have fun!
