Phoenix Trees


Here we are at the Fu Bell on our campus - the bell which reminds students every day to study hard and diligently. So we were just standing in front of it and did not study so hard this day... But hey, we are no students any more! (Which unfortunately does not dismiss us from our responsibilities...) Well anyway, what we actually wanted to show you are these wonderfully flowering trees, which they call here in Chinese "Fèng Huáng Mù" (鳳凰木). This means "phoenix tree" and refers to the bright red blossoms. Feng Huang Mu time for students means exam time - so that is probably why they have planted these trees next to the dunning Fu Bell!?!
