I couldn’t reisist three more shots of the “Lluvia de Oro” or Golden Shower Tree. The sun was right today and they are so exotic up close.

Royal Poinciana Trees (Flamboyan or Flame Trees)
I posted closeups and flower clusters of this tree for the past two days and now here is the tree itself. I couldn’t decide which pic I liked the best so I chose a few. I love this tree. Messy but gorgeous. Last year the leaf cutter ants pretty much ate all the leaves and flowers but this year it bloomed in all its glory.

Here’s a closeup view of the wonderful flowers of the Silk Floss Tree. It is ceiba speciosa- such an interesting tree that I’m going to do another posting on it, showing its trunk and large seed pods as well.)

And, the tree itself.
