I love stumbling upon monkey puzzle trees (Araucaria araucana), a species native to Chile, in Seattle. This one is in the Arboretum, but not the one was relocated from Ballard in 2008 that started out as a "quirky gift" from a teenage son to his mother, who planted it and it grew to 21 ft.

Fun fact: Monkey puzzle tree saplings were handed out to Century 21 World's Fair visitors in 1962.
