Description of the plant
Brachychiton acerifolium - the tree is present in the rainforests of the coast, from Illawarra / Sidney) to Queensland, and can reach a height of 30 meters.
Its outer bark is thick, wrinkled and gray, while the inner one is similar to a lace. When the tree blooms, the leaves fall and the tree remains covered by the scarlet-colored bell-shaped flowers, gathered in large clusters on the branching stems of the same color.
During full bloom, the tree seems to catch fire (hence the common name Flame Tree ), then as the flowers wither, the new green leaves appear. The characteristic of the new leaves is the 5-lobed shape that resembles an outstretched hand, reminding us of the essence of being accepted
affirmation
I am loved and accepted in all situations of life. Now I accept the responsibilities with joy.
