.....or the Indian Mango. Beautiful foliage and flowers well on their way to becoming fruits, drew me to this composition. These trees used be my favorite during the summer hols as a kid visiting grandparents'. Now it's more of a fond memory than anything else. Mango belongs to the family of Anacardiaceae ("Cardia" possibly refers to its heart-shape) which includes cashew, pistachio, poison ivy and also sumac. I did not know all this until today!?!
