Kigelia africana, or commonly called the Sausage tree, boasts long sprays of spectacular maroon/red velvety, wrinkled flowers that attracts birds, insects and bats. The dropped flowers are eaten by bucks and the large massive sausage like fruit is popular food for baboons and hippopotamus. It naturally only occurs in Africa, especially on riverbanks and the genus Kigelia only has this one specie. This artwork depicts the budding and open flowers seen in early spring with mature fruit from the previous season.
