Zygia gigantifolia

I just got back from my day of work in the field (I beat the rain -- it is pouring now!) and remembered to bring my camera. However, I didn't encounter many photo-worthy things. I tried to take some pictures of leaf-cutting ants (Atta sp.), but they were zooming by too fast to snap a good shot. I will try again in the future.

I did find this nice Zygia longifolia tree flowering. This species produces flowers (and subsequently fruits) on it's trunk rather than its branches; a phenomenon called cauliflory. I really like cauliflorous trees and the bright fluffy pink flowers of this Zygia are really pretty!
