Handful of life
November 19, 2008
My Lignum vitae tree is pregnant with yellow seed pods, many of them popping their crimson seeds onto the ground. Lignum vitae, literally translated in Latin means “wood of life.” It’s also referred to as the Tree of Life. It’s one of my favorite native trees down here. I gathered up some seeds and dispersed them all over the yard, hoping for seedlings to show up one day.
