'Iron Tree' Blooms

The 'Iron Tree' (铁树)in our front yard that Dad rescued long time ago bloomed. This was not my first time to see this, but since '铁树开花’is something considered rare, I decided to share it here. The were actually 3 bunches of flowers up the tree. I was not tall enough to take good shots of the flowers, so please compromise with my photography skill.

p/s: I tried look up the Internet for info about 铁树, but the pics all showed different plant. Then I check and turn out that it should be "巴西铁树” (Brazilian Iron Tree- direct translation from Chinese). The scientific name is Dracaena fragrans.

印象中铁树开花好像百年难得一见,但最近到处却出现铁树争相开花的奇景。。。。
