Baobab flowers and fruits

This morning I went on a baobab identification mission with my little 3-year old helper (she is very observant and has a better eyesight than I do, which offsets her tendancy to chatter continuously and to point her finger at the most incongruous --or unremarkable-- things with an excitedness that tends to be infectious. That is, until you realise that, in fact, she was showing you the umpteenth sparrow that morning, or anything as pedestrian as that.)

I was a bit disappointed to see that the flowering stage is all but over already,

But I was able to "catch" a late flower

And to witness a whole lot of promises from mother Nature
