This is the giant tree, Chamaecyparis formosensis, that we mentioned in our last blog. We visited this giant tree forest at La-La Mountain yesterday. Most giant trees are between 1,000 to 3,000 years old. This one is more than 1,000 years old, a teenager really.
Like old people, these old trees often all wrinkled up. This tree actually fell down many years ago, however new branches have grown out from the remaining trunk. Life is amazing!
I know that we did not actually show any flower, so here is one we saw in the forest. We are not sure what it is but it looks like lacecap hydrangea in the US.To see more flowers from around the world click here
