These are some of my favorite plants in Tallahassee. They are called Bottle Brush trees because their flowers resemble brushes. Personally I think they look like tiny pink fireworks. The trees themselves look much like those you find on the African Plains, and their leaves resemble palm fronds. I actually...

Most of Tallahassee is overshadowed by trees. It's a very green city with flourishing nature everywhere. Someone once commented that Tallahassee is one of the few cities where they will build a road around one of our ancient and majestic oak trees.
