Ancient Spider Tree in full bloom in Hanoi
(VOV) -A large, ancient and most beautiful spider tree (Crateva religiosa) is in full bloom in the My Dinh 1 Ward of Hanoi.
The tree is more commonly referred to as the sacred garlic pear but is often called the spider tree because of its showy flowers bearing long, spidery stamens.
It is native to Japan, Australia, much of Southeast Asia and several South Pacific islands and is often grown elsewhere for fruit, especially in parts of the African continent.
Here are some photos of the 300-year-old Spider tree which is in full bloom in Hanoi this April (sourced Hanoitv):
