Delonix Regia
Royal Poinciana - Flamboyant - Flame Tree
This is another one worth waiting for. The flamboyant is in bloom all up and down the Keys right now, and they're putting on quite a show. It is endemic to Madagascar's dry deciduous forests, but has been cultivated in tropical regions throughout the world. It is the national flower of St. Kitts and Nevis, as well as the official tree of Vietnam, Taiwan, Fujian Province, People's Republic of China; and Shantou, Canton Province, People's Republic of China. Just one glimpse of this tree in bloom explains why it is so beloved everywhere it is grown.
