Name: Marilyn Greenwood Village, CO (Zone 5b) Garden today. Clean next week.
What a brilliant color. That's a tree isn't it. It must be breathtaking to view in person.
Thanks for sharing it with us folks up north who do not see these beauties.
Thanks! Yes, it is a tree; here is a picture of a different one.. they are absolutely glorious when in bloom. I have always loved the Caribbean name for it: 'Flamboyant'
I remember when I first saw these in Trinidad. It was the start of a lifelong dream of becoming a painter someday. I still haven't taken any steps to make the dream come true, but I'm only 70.
Thanks for pointing this out, it is delightful! I have a vague recollection of hearing it before but wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't mentioned it.
