The Poincianas are Fantastic

It is November. Hot and humid, not much rain, and the poincianas are in flower. Verdant, red and fabulous.......mostly. They have an absolutely fantastic appearance for about a month whilst they are in flower.





Their colourful display is truly awesome. This specimen is in a local suburban street.



Darwin also has a few specimens of the rare orange form. Maybe not as in your face colourful, but still beautiful on large trees. This one even has some purple bougainvillea!
