One of the many splendid Desert Roses on Magnetic Island . Along with Singapore Temple Trees, Illawarra Flame Trees , Poinciana , Frangipanis , Bougainvilleas and Mussaenda out in full colour it presents a pleasant scene , the blossoms attracting many birds and insects .
While the island is dry , smoke has been seen rising on the mainland .
FOOTNOTE : Not far from the above Desert Rose a man sold his late wife's clothing to finance a public defibrillator on site.
