The Grevillea tree was brought to Kenya from Australia.  It is now planted by farmers all over the country.  Old Grevillea trees, like this one in Spring Valley, show us that, not so long ago, this was farmland.  You can read about the Grevillea tree here.

The Nandi Flame Tree comes originally from Western Kenya, but it has been planted all over Nairobi.  You can read more about it here.
