Royal splendor

Pardon the cliche, but I'm still getting my breath.

It's blossom season for the royal poinciana (Delonix regia) , and umbrellas of fire are opening all over town.

There's a particularly magnificent specimen on Southard, just west of White -- but I didn't have my camera along when I walked under it the other day. I'll snap it for you the next time I'm strolling that way.

The link above, by the way, takes you into the wonderful Floridata pages -- scads of information about our flora. You might like to wander through that amazing virtual garden.
