Royal Poinciana Tree


We found this Poinciana Tree on our Sunday morning drive with Beau hanging out the window. It should be flowers only and much brighter ran, due to drought, it is not. It is still beautiful. They are common here in Florida





 below is a photo from Edison Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers Florida.

I wanted you to see the beautiful flowers up close

The Royal Poinciana tree looks beautiful. I like the avenue of trees and the wide grassy areas. The close up of the flame- coloured flowers and fern-like leaves from the link shows spectacular nature on Nature Friday. It looks like a lovely neighbourhood with lots of shade - that's important. Have a good day Sandra.

It is a beautiful, vibrant tree and starts my day off well. I hope there were birds singing in it!

Beautiful Poinciana. I remember seeing some big ones in when we lived in Florida. I've wanted a Rain Tree for many years. They grow well here in SE Georgia, can get quite huge, and have lovely flowers too. 💙

Goodness me it is absolutely gorgeous and purrfectly shaped.

WOW!! So very beautiful. What a vibrant red, in the sun it almost looks orange!

I'm so glad you took the closeup! And I even enlarged it more to geta good look. Something we do not have anywhere here. It is gorgeous, and looks so tropical.

Wow, what a difference! I must be really unobservant, because I don't remember seeing them when I lived there.

When I was a little girl visiting Florida, the Edison house was one of my favorite places to go. That and the nearby (?) shell factory.

That is a gorgeous tree! Wow! I don't think we have those here in our part of Florida, at least I've never seen one! Thank you for sharing it with us! Now I know what that looks like!

It's still beautiful. I hope you get some rain soon!
