Baobab flower - something we rarely see. Such a beautiful flower.

The sun slowly disappears like a red fireball on the horizon and baobabs cast long shadows. Night falls in the land of the giants. High time for all the nocturnal creatures of this world – including baobab – to become active.

The trees come with a specific feature: Their FLOWERS open at NIGHT! The opening of the flower buds usually starts in the late afternoon or around sunset. The buds are green on the outside and hang like pendulums from the tree – similar to the fruit that develop later. First, the outer shell of the buds rolls up towards the stalks.
