Mangroves Flowering !
 

Exciting News!!!

I usually don't post on Canreef; however, today I came home to find my Mangroves have started to flower.
They are almost seven years old and more than six feet tall. Just click the pictures to get the full size.

Enjoy!

These are the same mangroves as the above, I had photos spanning their full life time but Imageshack stopped free hosting and got rid of them :sad:.

So I was cleaning them off and noticed that they actually have tiny pods.

Yes, thanks for sharing. Cool.

Mangrove Pods
 

According to a program called Bahama Blue, Mangrove pods develop into complete miniature 'trees' before they are dropped by their parent tree into the water - where the camera followed one where it landed upright and ready to root.
