Sausage Tree flower .... seriously!

Sausage Tree flower .... seriously!
I thought a friend was kidding me when she told me about a tree called a Sausage Tree at the Calgary Zoo and sent me a few photos of the unusual flowers : ) I'd never heard of this kind of tree before! So, of course, I had to go and check it out. The flowers are enormous and so unusual! From my archives, taken on 30 September 2011. Sausage Tree flower / Kigelia africana.

However, these are the oblong-cylindrical fruits of the Kigelia africana ... looking like sausages!!
