Photos from our back yard Dwarf Poinciana in 2015. We had 2 really big bushes and several growing in buckets.
They bloom year-round here and even the foliage was beautiful
Bob planted seeds from these pods and each time it made these beautiful flowers.
We had hundreds of butterflies and many different kinds because each came to a different flower
Wow, the first photo is unbelievable!! Totally stunning!!! And the foliage is gorgeous as well.
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous!! I love the color.

ReplyDeleteOne of my fave tropical flower trees... I am guessing that since the drought, these are not flourishing? YAM xx
These are absolutely stunning. I'm totally fascinated by that first picture. How wonderful to have these growing right in your own yard.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful, very exotic!
I would love to be able to grow these in my yard.
The drought is terrible.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend!
I would have loved to see both it and all the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you get some rain and the butterflies return. After all, what’s a beautiful bloom without a butterfly?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower! It reminds me a great deal of the Gloriosa rothschildiana (Gloriosa Lily) I had planted down by the dirt road a few years ago. Every year it would suddenly pop up and be stunningly gorgeous. Now it's disappeared. I guess the drought got to it because it's a bulb. I so want to plant another one.

What a gorgeous tree?!!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!

Those are indeed wow! You might be plagued by droughts and floods and storms and .... all that but there are definitely beautiful advantages to be enjoyed in the plant world that suits your climate.
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful. Do have any now?
ReplyDeleteTropical climates sure make for gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of these too.
On my way to Lynne's temps to be 106 by the time I come home. Hopefully we will get out earlier so we don't cook.

That is such a pretty flower. You are lucky to have such unique plants like that. Probably wouldn't survive our winters.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful plant! Are you saying that the drought has killed it, or will it come back with some good steady rains? I hope the latter...it looks like it was really lovely. We don't have those here in our neck of the woods. I hope it will come back!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are just so pretty. We had not seen dwarf poinciana before. The colors are amazing

I never heard of this, but the first image looks like something I'd see in National Geographic. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletePS - More later, I've been up since 4:30 and our company just left. Exhausted!
WOW, those sure are pretty, pretty, pretty!
