Strangler Fig Strangles A Cypress Tree Photo, Photos, Pictures, Photographs
Artist: Royce Bair
Description:
Strangler Fig Roots Wrap Around a Cypress Tree In The Florida Everglades
The Strangler Fig's aerial roots wrap around a Cypress tree in the Florida Everglades. Strangler Fig seedling plants often germinate high in the branches of another tree where the sticky seeds are deposited by birds. As the young stem grows upward, long slender aerial roots are extended downward and around the host tree until they reach the ground. After taking root in the ground, the root trunks increase slowly in size, encircling the host in a strangling embrace!

When I searched for "Cypress" I found 72 images at Acclaim Images.com.
They are one of my favorite places to browse around for photos and some great original clipart. Fred Voetsch built and runs this site himself, so everything is hand picked from a select group of artists and photographers. You can also order prints and posters through them.
