This tree is native to Australia, it is planted as a landscaping plant and it often escapes. I photographed this one growing in a state park at a beach. I'd love to know how this tree got its funny name! :)
Santa Barbara, CA March 26, 2007 I kept seeing these plants blooming along Hwy. 1 and I was anxious to see what they were. We finally found a place to pull over safely so I could take this photograph and the following one. They have very pretty flowers.
Rose Valley, CA March 25, 2007 I saw this vine several times, but only once with the spiny fruits.
