Perchance you are under a Neem tree (Mambu), do look up at the leaves; soft green small ones curling in a circular formation forming concentric circles on slender branches. The canopy is a pattern of circles upon circles...spirals upon spirals.....
Passing by a Mempisang tree you can see ripply long leaves neatly arranged in layers in the overall conical form of the plant. Young shoots are crimson and mature leaves are deep green.
The Flame of the forest (Semarak Api) has really tiny leaflets perfectly lined, lacy, delicate and fragile.
The humble Tapioca or Cassava (Ubi kayu) has leaves in a stellar shape.
The Angsana (Sena) leaves are buxom, emerald green with pointed tips, lush and lovely.
Ironwood (Penaga) shoots are reddish, blossom-like, often deceiving the eyes....
Ah, the patterns in nature ..........
