Wild flowers: Kibrahacha (Handroanthus billbergii)
There is no plant that indicates the state of the weather as well as the Kibrahacha. Every year, it is a big question when these trees will ‘feel’ enough rainwater to reveal themselves in an explosion of yellow flowers within a few days. In some years, it is not until well into June that we can really admire the beautiful flowers of this tree.
