Description
This image showcases the distinctive, fragrant flower of a Cannonball Tree (*Couroupita guianensis*), characterized by its vibrant red-orange petals and complex pink and yellow stamens. While not a bonsai specimen, the tree is known for its unique cauliflorous blooms and large, spherical fruits.
