A surprise from the deciduous tree

A tropical deciduous tree, Zone C.

 It is not common to see tropical trees shedding all its leaves and then refresh itself with new generation of leaf growth.  Recently one such tree revealed its qualities at Zone C.  Once totally bared it revealed a surprise.  All this while not seen was a Disc Stag's Horn that has survived unnoticed clinging to the tree.
