[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From my visit here, this is a papaya tree located in the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington D.C. Papayas are known as a medicinal plant whose fruit lowers blood pressure. Natives where the plants grow, eat small amounts of the seeds to protect against gastric parasites. Shot in auto everything! Having a great time. So much to see - so little time!!

Hey Howard, nice POV of the tree. They are very common in some SA provinces, growing in the wild. This one looks huge though. Enjoy the vacation.

Pequeña, pero gran imagen Howard, por una perspectiva muy agradable con un colorido fantastico.
Nunca había tenido oportunidad de ver estos frutos en estado natural.
Gracias por compartirla.

Thanks for posting.

The POV gives a very tal feel to this tree, which works well, there are a couple of highlights from the flash that could do with cloning out IMO. overall nice one.
