Still on Christmas Island, this collection of bright red flowers is from a Royal Poinciana tree (delonix regia). This one was taken near some abandoned buildings (possibly former military barracks) on the island. January 2009

Another flower from Christmas Island, this time the flower of the cypress vine. An invasive weed in many places outside its native habitat (Central America), it was spread for it's medicinal properties. Jan 2009

In a previous job I got to go to Christmas Island (the Indian Ocean one vs the Pacific Ocean one) twice. This photo is from my second trip in 2009. It's a bonzai of adenium obesum (I had no idea before today) near one of the Buddhist shrines on the island.

11 years ago I made my kids sing 3-part harmony on a song with me for a Christmas thing.

I like the album Christmas Island by Leon Redbone (1988)

Lovely post on the history of Christmas Island from 2015. I should visit it again. 😃
"Today’s Christmas Island National Park, managed by Parks Australia, comprises 63 percent of the island—all of its tropical beauty and eye-popping natural heritage protected for perpetuity."

This is cool. You may know about the Christmas Island Red Crab migration to release spawn into the ocean. Less often seen are the baby crabs making their way back to the island. Here's a short video showing the event.
