Seedpods and Blooms Mauritius

 Some interesting seedpods on these trees at Domaine Les Pailles, I do not know what type of tree it is.

 Behind a friend's house these on the side of a gorge these agave like plants were blooming

 Anyone knows what these are?


 You can see some of the water in the gorge
 Beautiful backyard views

Also at Caudon, great facial sculptures. The ones in the first photo are by the artist Pem. I think also the second but not sure.
