In a comfort to the canopy 1, there is a new incentive 2 to get up this morning. The tallest umbrella thorntrees are bursting into flower. Their sweet smell draws many visitors like Vervet monkeys.

As they move among the blossoms in search of nectar, they carry up the vital process of pollination 3, fertilizing 4 the trees to make seeds.
