A flowering cocoa tree...


came as a huge surprise, especially seeing the flowers, not on the end of newly grown branches but directly on the trunk of the tree.  Some flowers looked like orchids, as the one in this picture,  and some were little sprays of tiny flowers. So the chocolates, truffles and candies we eat, start out in an array of visual beauty and end in an array of delectable flavors.  How wonderful is that?
