Cordia dodecandra
Cordia dodecandra is native to Mexico and Central America, where it thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, often in dry forests and semi-arid regions. This medium-sized tree is notable for its striking flowers, which are funnel-shaped and display vivid orange petals with a slightly crinkled texture. The flowers are produced in clusters, creating bursts of color that stand out prominently against the foliage.
The tree is also recognized for its edible fruit, which is small, fleshy, and sweet, and is consumed locally or used to make jams and preserves. Photographed in Florida.
