The Chinese Fan Palm (Created by HAO-YU WEI)
I’m Chinese Fan Palm.
I’m stronger than the coconut trees
Like hand-held fans my leaves can be
As if they were straw hats my young leaves weave
My leaf sheaths turn into ropes and brushes
My body can be grandpa's crutches
My buds make delicious dishes
I’m Chinese Fan Palm
And I’m versatile

The leaves of the Logwood Tree (Created by CHING-YU SUN)
The sun makes my flowers bloom,
The rain washes me clean;
Dark clouds are all so evil,
They chase away the sunshine I need;
Fall’s coldness is a painful challenge for me to meet;
Winter’s dampness gives me the blues;
My flowers blossom in the spring,
Spring expels the coldness in my bones,
And blews the dark clouds away;
It is burning hot in summer,
But the beautiful sunshine embraces me,
And makes my flowers bloom beauteously.

The African Tulip Tree (Created by YUNG-CHUN CHUANG)
In the middle of winter, in the northern lands,
Where the ice spreads thousands of miles, and heavy flakes of snow fall.
In the South lives the African Tulip Tree,
standing straight and high with a lush foliage crown.
Its red blossoms smiling among verdant leaves,
Make an imcomparably showy and beauteous tree ;
From far away, red flowers look like burning flames,
Or perhaps they are the blinding rosy clouds on the horizon;
I guess they look more like slender and pretty Dai girls,
Holding colorful paper umbrellas in their hands.
The colors of the African Tulip Tree,
Bring harmony and love to my heart.

Yellow Flame Tree (Created by WEI-LUN KANG)
Yellow blossoms on the tree,
Look like a young girl wearing orange ornaments in her hair,
Waving her hands in the breeze;
Feathery green leaves on the tree,
Look like the dazzling sequins on her skirt.
The autumn wind urges the brown fruits and green buds to grow;
In the winter’s rain I turn flamboyant.
Guess what I am.
I am the Yellow Flame Tree.

Mickey Mouse Plant (Created by SHIH-HSUAN SHAO)
The Mickey Mouse Plant is colorfully embellished
Its yellow flower blossoms are the finest ornaments in the garden
Its dark black fruits are embraced by its bright red sepals
Like little Mickey Mouses
Hanging happily on the branches

Camphor Tree (Created by YEN-LIN CHEN)
Standing modestly high with a crimson smile
Waving at me wearing a lovely puffy skirt in the breeze
Its leaves love to laugh in the wind
And dance crazily on the top of the branches
The light green of the tree feels so delicate and soothing
Standing high up to the blue sky
The camphor tree always seems at ease

Taiwan Nato Tree (Created by KUAN-CHIAO WANG)
The sun shines on the tree
And speckles the ground with golden lights
Falling leaves sway crazily
Before they gently drop to the ground
I take a little walk on the campus
The tree’s top swaying ever so slightly in the breeze
Fall is coming
The leaves say their goodbyes
Looking forward to their journey ahead
The green leaves fall and gradually turn yellow
I am eagerly looking forward to the green sprouts
Bursting out on the branches like magic

Red Sandalwood (Created by WEI-CHE LIN)
There is a big tree
It blocks the burning sunshine when the sun is furiously bright
From April to May - the yellow flowers blossom
From July to September - fruits greet the passerby
Looking like eggs with their sunny-side up
What is this magical tree?
It is the Red Sandalwood tree

White Silk Cotton (Created by ZHE-LUN GUO)
The White Silk Cotton tree is like a giant growing tall
Its verdant hair is like a parasol
Distinguished white hair, its cotton ball
strong muscles form thick trunk
Oh! White Silk Cotton Tree, you're a wonderful tree

Bottle Palm (Created by YEN-YU LIAO)
Bottle palm has thin green leaflets and rough skin
It sits and waits for its flowers and fruit
Two decades will have past
As it gets its yellow golden fruits at last

The Flame Tree (Created by YI-FAN SU)
In June the sky is blue
setting off the white clouds of all shapes
Red petals dancing among green leaves
Bringing vigorousness to the Flame Tree
Wait! It is so quiet here
No more children’s laughter in the playground
No more children’s reading voices from the classroom
It turned out to be the summer holidays
The red petals go hiding,
Only the fierceful seeds
With bodies like machetes
Keep the Flame Tree company

Hong Kong Orchid Tree (Created by TZU-YUAN LIN)
In mid fall, on the Hong Kong orchid tree
There are yellow and green leaves
And bright purple flowers
I walk under the tree
Feeling the deep silence underneath
Everything seems so clear and bright
Fallen petals spreading on the ground
Making for a beautiful purple trail
Standing high on the staircase
Gazing at the autumn view
Feeling slightly melancholic

Looking Glass Mangrove (Created by MENG-HAN TU)
I am Looking Glass Mangrove.
My little Grass Brothers say to me
My fruits were their favorite friends.
Playing hide and seek with them and was lots of fun.
I looked down at my feet
I found hidden little chocolates
Decorating the green grass.
The White Cloud Sister said
She would love to lie on my butress roots
And play with the insects surrounding me.

I sway in the breeze
And say to the lovely White Cloud Sister
Friends everywhere are looking forward to the same thing.
The Wind Brother said
He was happy every time I waved to him.
I slowly moved my silver leaves
as he come and gave them high-fives.
Now I tell you what I enjoy the most:
Birds flying around me listening to one of my stories
A story about the adventure
of a seed of the Hong Kong Orchid Tree.

Formosan Gum (Created by CHIEH-YU LIN)
Formosan Gum, you are so tall, you can be my patron.
Formosan Gum, you are like a parasol, you can protect me from the heat.

Weeping Fig (Created by CHI-MEI CHEN)
Stroll around
Walk around
I take a little walk on the campus
I feel a nice breeze blowing
The verdant tree leaves are swirling
I walk under the weeping fig
I feel the silence
I quietly observe the weeping fig
I admire its fabulous branches
They are as soft as the weeping willow
So pitiful
Its lovely flowers hastily come and go
Cherish the moment when the flowers bloom
Its red flowers are suffocating beautiful
Footsteps
Once again I stroll around on the campus
and pay attention to the weeping fig
I see his new posture and crown
And quietly listen to his words from the bottom of his heart

African Myrobalan (Created by HSIANG-CHIEH WU)
Umbrella
An umbrella grows on the ground
Its hometown from far away
When the umbrella spreads open
Cool breeze blowing underneath
Looking up
Little pipas are playing music
Little girls eagerly jump off the tree
Wanting to see the beautiful world outside
Looking at them carefully
Some jumping off in pairs
some jumping off alone
Bright yellow and vibrant green
The beauty of the sky sets off the colors of the tree
They all stay together quite happily
When I have to leave the scene
I cannot help to turn my head
The tree is waving to say goodbye
When we see each other again
All its colors have faded away
When I look down on the ground
Little brown cuties are lying around
Those are the children of the African Myrobalan

The Taiwan Flamegold (Created by CHIH-HSUAN LI)
You must be someone
Who cares about her beauty
Green, yellow, red and brown
All four seasons a different look
To show off your beauty
You must be someone
Who is very generous
Bearing clusters of fruits to share with others
Voila! Voila! Red cotton bugs
Wearing bright orange jackets
Boys dressed up in black suits and pants
Girls wearing dresses in black
Gathered on the tree for the blind date party
You must be someone
On whom others can rely
In fall you warn the Rukai people
To look out for the coming typhoon
You are a metaphor in Pinuyumayan culture
To teach the teenage girls to protect themselves from men
You really are a precious tree of Taiwan

The Rain Tree (Created by YU-CHEN LI)
As beautiful spring approaches
Looking down at her branches
The Rain Tree Sister
Is thinking about getting now clothes
In the very near future
As hot summer has come
The Rain Tree Sister is proud
To wear her puff-like blossoms
She knows she will become a beautiful girl
As romantic fall has gone
And cold winter has come
The Rain Tree Sister is sad
To say goodbye to her little flowers

Bishop Wood (Created by CHIA-YIN CHEN)
The Bishop Wood Tree is like a large parasol
Its little white flowers are like dazzling stars
Looking from a distance
Sporadical red leaves covered with strings of purple beads
The stout branches seem to be able to uphold any burden
Over the life span of century
It reveals its good virtue and modesty
Taiwanese delicatessen
And the environment’s vanguard, too

Taiwan Nato Tree (Created by TSAI-HSU WU)
Cold wind blowing
Leaves spreading on the ground
Seeds spinning and falling
Like the bamboo dragonfly
Seeds falling on safe spots
Bound to become their new homes
There new strong trees will be standing
Seeds falling everywhere on the ground
Like toys they play with the children
Watching it falling and spinning
Wonderful nature, I’m deeply impressed!

Common Carcinia (Created by FANG-TIEH CHEN)
I’m Common Carcinia
From a distance
I look like an umbrella
If you take a closer look at me
I look like a big round ball
My leaves and fruit are round
My fruits look as though they have a sweet taste and a good fragrance
While actually their odor is unbearable

Dinner Plate Tree (Created by TING-YU CHEN)
I walk in the sun
the wind blows and blows
There are fruits falling off the tree in spirals
I walk in the sun
Beautiful flowers smiles and smiles
Opening up like banana peels
Oh! It’s him
The Dinner Plate tree

Giant Crape-myrtle (Created by MAN-LI TSAI)
The weather is cool
The flowers are brilliantly red
The sun is shining
The leaves are a bright green
Cold wind gets into my bones
Darkness comes over the tree
I take a walk in the cold rain
Looking around I see the red carpet spreading
As if .....it’s lying there for me
In any of the four seasons the Giant Crape-myrtle tree
Is always so fascinating and charmin
