These photos do not capture the full beauty of this plant. The first one provides an image of the plant's overall structure (5.5 feet tall). The second one gives a better view of its foliage, shows some seed pods and provides a glimpse of its bark. (San Antonio, Tx.)

The tenaza seed pods change colors as they mature. They are iridescent, even the reddish-brown ones, and appear is if they could glow in the dark. These beautiful pods are the reason that the plant is sometimes called "Apes-Earring". (San Antonio, Tx.)
