Umbrella Tree (Schefflera actinophylla)

Not actually in my garden, but photographed from my backyard balcony.
Umbrella Tree is a native plant of rainforest edges in this region which does very well as a garden plant.
The flowers, shown here, provide nectar for birds and flying-foxes; the fleshy fruits that follow are also food for birds.

Sweet delight for the eyes, sweet nourishment for birds and flying foxes. Four layers of green behind the pink - beautiful. Quite the view from your balcony.
