Strange fruit!

Pride of place in Maroochydore's Sunshine Plaza  shopping centre this week.

It's impressive, but what is it exactly? 

And is it connected to Chinese New Year - most of the world's big festival of the moment?

No, I worked out a moment ago it's probably more to do with the forthcoming Valentines Day, and there are cards hung on it about love, and who the writers' love is directed at. (Mostly mothers and grandmothers.)


 

 

As for the tree, I was reliably informed that it's shaped like a poinciana, but its flowers are those of a jacaranda. We're four months on from jacaranda season, so that seemed all wrong to me!
