Tabachine? Pride of Barbados or Dwarf Poinciana, For FOTD Feb 19, 2024

 

Pasiano has always called this dwarf poinciana a tabachine and I did find one identifier that called it a tabachine de la sierra, but most called it a dwarf poinciana or pride of Barbados. And, if you really want to confuse the matter, it is also called a Mexican bird of paradise.

For Cee’s FOTD

Tabachine: Flower of the Day

DSCN1356This Tabachine (Dwarf Poinciana, Flame Tree, Flamboyant)  bush almost hurts the eyes.  It was actually swarming with dozens of black swallowtails, but I managed to catch just one in my lens.  They move fast.
