Royal Poincianas in Bloom Everywhere!


Once can't help but notice the abundance of blooming Royal Poinciana (aka: Delonix regia or Flamboyant - no, really!) trees all over Miami! But, as I mentioned to my boyfriend the other day, you usually only really notice or look at these trees when they are in a roaring fiery bloom - like now! After all, who can ignore the magnificent electric orange flowers that make for an amazing contrast against the blue sky... they are breathtaking! Here are a few that I've photographed while out and about....

Here are three different shots of the massive old Royal Poinciana tree in the yard of the house next to my aunt and grandmother!....




These I took while driving through Coral Gables.....
