Can someone please ID this tree growing with beautiful bark in northern Florida?

Andy, The second photo shows leaves, stems, and flowers that look right for Ilex x attenuata (I. cassine x I. opaca), probably the cultivar 'East Palatka'. But the photo of the colorful trunk is puzzling -- some of the color may be lichens, but I'm wondering -- might someone actually have painted it? Some mottling is normal on holly trunks, but that one is amazing. |

The colors ARE rather striking! :-) -- -Andy S. http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_s/sets/ |
