The Royal Poinciana or Flame tree is such a beautiful ornamental element in a green garden. The red flowers create such a contrast, as seen in the pictures, one feels invited to be around or below the red tree. I took these pictures in last July, at the Fullerton Arboretum, California. All pictures from my personal archives, 2021.
From Wikipedia:
"Delonix regia is a species of flowering plant in the bean family Fabaceae, subfamily Caesalpinioideae native to Madagascar. It is noted for its fern-like leaves and flamboyant display of orange-red flowers over summer. In many tropical parts of the world it is grown as an ornamental tree and in English it is given the name royal poinciana, flamboyant, flame of the forest, or flame tree (one of several species given this name)."
