Star Day at a Glance, Monday, May 6, 2019

Native to South America, the cannonball tree -- photographed at Ramna Park -- is quite popular in Bangladesh. The large, fragrant flowers do not have any nectar, but bees are drawn to the colour and smell. The name of this tree comes from its large, round fruit, which makes a cannonball-like sound when it hits the ground. PHOTO: RASHED SHUMON
