The beginning

 

The Strawberry Tree is a slow growing plant.

It has an interesting sculptural form, becoming twisted and gnarled in maturity, and a uniquely beautiful peeling bark, revealing a reddish-brown trunk.

Some days I'd love to be a speedy snap dragon, a vase of gerberas, a dozen long stemmed red roses.

But maybe there's something to be said for being a big old tree, not found everywhere, that takes a long time to grow and might surprise people with unexpected beauty in the middle of a park on a summer afternoon.
