Manacá

The picture you see, the 1st blooming of a tree we planted!
This is a native tree of the Brazilian Mata Atlântica, this forest used to follow the eastern shore in the coast. Today the forest survived in some areas where it has been preserved by environmental laws. The Manacá tree is abundant where I live, and this specific tree was planted in our property! Isn't it gorgeous? The forest is speckled with it's flowers at this time of year, it's fall for us, and in contrast to beautiful blue skies it paints a beautiful painting to wake up to!
