Mickey Mouse Plant / Bird's Eye Bush = Ochna kirkii
Family: Marcgraviaceae
Origin: Guyana
*In Spring, masses of bright yellow flowers cover the plant.
Two months later, the sepals and receptacle enlarge and turn scarlet, revealing a green seed, which turns black as it ripens.
The name comes from the face of the fruit, of course!
