Horse Chestnut Flowers

You would never realize how exquisite and intricate these flowers are until you take a closer look. But what this tree has to do with horses anyway. Well, in old days, people thought that the fruits of this tree were beneficial in curing horse ailments. Its seeds were also similar to that of the Sweet Chestnut tree, so it came to be known as the Horse Chestnut tree. However, it is actually quite poisonous in raw form and should be avoided by both people and horses.
