Coral Tree

I came across this seed pod while on a trip to Costa Rica.  I was looking for rocks one day by the Bijagual river when I spied something colorful on a little island mid-stream.  When I made my way over to it I was delighted to find the most unusual seed pod I had ever seen.  The resident botanist informed me the pod was from a Coral Tree and its incredible colors and shape  inspired this linocut.  Visit my blog, Nessy Designs, for more images and further details about the process.
