Albizia Saman

And just what is this "Albizia saman" you may ask, and why would we even mention it?
Well it did come up as a comment to a recent post. It is, in fact this mystery Monkey Pod! And you can read all about it Here on that wonderful source for all kinds of information, Wikipedia!


"Albizia saman is known under a wide range of common names, such as Saman, Rain Tree or Monkey Pod..."

"yay- we used to get Monkey Pods stuck in our tires in Hawaii - it does make a horrible noise...it scared me the first time i heard it...but i was glad that was all it was :)"

And then Maria said...

"haha -a monkey pod is this type of seed thing that falls from some of the tree's in hawaii...not sure which type. but when they are broken open they are every where!!! and they are a sticky mess!..which ends up in your tires...meh"

So now we know what is this Monkey Pod. But what am I doing up this late?!!
