Deigo in bloom

If you were a tree...

Why not be a deigo?


This is Okinawa's official tree.
May is a good time to see deigo in bloom.
In spring, first the leaves fall off. Then the flowers bloom, and when they are almost done, new leaves start to appear.

These are blossoms that know how to present themselves in the best possible light--red against a bright blue sky, red against its complementary green.
