palmarazzi 2 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 that doesn't look like a ZZ but i could be wrong. okay Kris bro, here's a pic of saraca indica (common names: asok [hind.], asogam [tam.], ashoka tree, jonesia asoka [old name], grandhapushpa and sorrowless tree)... what makes it unique are the blooms that flower directly on branches and trunk. also the huge leaves have a nice and distinct tropical flavor. it's just a tree you hardly ever see, well maybe not in your neck of the woods. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
