This Lady got a bit raggedy, because somebody used her as food. To make up for it nature gave her diamonds made from drew drops. The flower is a single blossom of a Siricote Tree Cordia sebastena]. Usually those blossoms are in clusters. Somebody really was hungry. Cordia sebastena is a species of flowering trees native to tropical America grooving in a ranch from Florida, the Bahamas, throughout Central America and the Greater Antilles. It is known as Siricote or Kopte in the Mayan countries of Central America and the Yucatan, as Scarlet Cordia in Jamaica, and as Geiger Tree [after John Geiger] in Florida. It is widely used throughout the tropics as ornamental tree. The fruit is edible but tasteless, but is used in some regions by natives and commercially to make jelly.
