I am sure that Dr. Seuss drew inspiration for his plants and even animals from African vegetation. It first struck me how suess-like the trees are on Saturday morning, with the trees silhouetted against the sunrise. He not only stole the typical African planes trees that are big and flat but also these weird trees that have lots of little tufts of leaves on long, thin and sometimes squigly branches. Then there are papaya trees and these little puff balls on sticks that seem to be everywhere in Seuss books. I have decided that Seuss formed his world one day while in Africa, probably on a safari. Like I did today (Saturday).
