I've seen this tree many a time before, but for the first time today i saw a red antennae like growth off the top of one of branches. Look at the pictures -- isnt it strange? and beautiful!
As always, if you know what it is called, do let me know.

That's a flowering umbrella tree! Check out this link:
The umbrella tree is the Brassaia actinophylla. The common name comes from the shape of the leaf clusters and it is also called the 'octopus tree' because of the inflorescence.
