As of today, in season, building toward peak (~June 25). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Sagaribana (Barringtonia racemosa) are night-blooming trees found along mangrove rivers and coasts of the Ryukyu Islands.
Individual flowers open at dusk, emit a strong fragrance, and by dawn many fallen blossoms form a carpet on the water, creating a short-lived morning spectacle favored by photographers and nature tours.
