There are three ketapang trees in front of my house which are a very cool natural shade, but the thing that really surprised me was that the ketapang tree also has very beautiful flowers and also has a quite fragrant aroma, the flowers grow on a fairly long stalk and it looks like a very unique ornament. According to the information I know, ketapang leaves can also be useful for animals and fish, there are several betta fish breeders who ask me for dried ketapang leaves to be used as food for their fish, and it has been proven. I photographed this Ketapang flower in the morning, where the morning dew still sticks between the leaves. The color is white and it looks very beautiful and striking.

The Ketapang tree itself is also popular for planting in front of their homes. This tree grows very quickly and requires very little maintenance. It also has quite wide and numerous leaves, providing a very cool natural shade.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some pictures of this Ketapang flower here.
