Durio ziberthinus - Durian Tree

Crazy, crazy blooms that appeared out of the blue or could I have missed them right after I had thought that the tree is now too old to bear fruits and therefore did not look at it hopefully thereafter. Today, I saw them as I was driving along the road next to this majestic tree. It was already close to 6.30pm and the light was fading. I went home, took my camera and visited the tree. All photos were taken with flash using my Olympus 18x zoom. Even then I could not get close enough to take really good shots, I did not give up because these flowers may not last another day.

Thanks Mr Lazy(Slurp) I have a problem finding you. Don't bother to bring a parang, there are seasoned durian collectors in this area and they don't even use parangs.

Oh, slow about the Mat part 'cos my head was only full of durian flowers. It's been so long I forgot. Hope is the only thing we can do, so sad.
