Hi Altairboy:
Here are two pictures I took while my wife and I toured The Garden for the Blind, a special section of the beautiful Botanical Gardens in San Antonio, Texas. (We were recently on vacation there.)

The sign reads as follows (top down, left to right): Vitex agnus-castus Chaste Tree [various words in braille] CHASTE TREE Symbol of chastity. Species name from Latin Agnus for Lamb and Castus for chaste or pure. Used as a sexual depressant, sedative, perfume and spice. |
I thought it was so unique (how often has anyone heard of a chaste tree?), that I immediately thought of your excellent web site and thought these images would make a very unique addition. Don't you agree?
The tree has almost no buds, leaves or flowers. Perhaps it was the time of year; I don't know. The leaves you see in the foreground of the right hand photo are from a neighboring tree.
Please feel free to add these two images to your web site, should you think they deserve a space. If you want to give credit, saying they are from JC will be fine.
