While there, came accross a beautiful tree with vibrant orange blossoms and bean pods hanging from them. The locals call these trees " Pico de gallo tree". I have not been able to find the real name for it anywhere. Please help!!! Also, all along the newly built highway to the airport in the midium, there are these bushes growing with bright, hot pink blossoms. Very drought resistant. The driver said they where called "Palmas"? He spoke very good english, so maybe I wrote it down wrong, because I can not find this anywhere either! Anyone know of these two Mexico Native plants? Thanks in advance. -Adrienne Quote \| Reply \| Report
