Acacia confusa (台灣相思)

It is my first time to see the flowers and flower buds near the Services Reservoir at Cloud View Road, North Point.
" The exotic tree species used in Hong Kong are fast growing and survive on very degraded sites. Some species, such as Acacia confusa(台灣相思 ), are fire toreant and can be used to form a fire break."
