I'd like to share with you all my most favorite plant in the whole wide world. The Banyan Tree. In short, it's amazing. It looks like multiple trees, but it really is just one tree that keeps re-rooting itself, making it look like it has multiple trunks. I took these here pictures myself when I was in Maui last year. I just dug them up out of my camera while I was uploading some reference pics. But yes. I would like to live in a banyan tree. Make a little tree house or something. I want to be a banyan tree. I love trees. Flowers can go screw themselves.

See the hairy little root bunches dangling from the branches? They too shall become trunks.
And here is a delightful native that I thought was cute.

He was the greeter. The bar tender was also really gorgeous.
Anyhow. Back to drawing and reference nonsense.

It's only ONE tree. ONE. It being a singular tree is what makes it so great.
