The Flamboyant trees (aka, Delonix regia and Royal Poinciana) have outdone themselves this year. And yesterday, walking home from the market, I was captured and enraptured by their canopy.

I’m glad to see this – the ones that had begun to bloom right before we left were not very impressive. I think this is my favorite blooming tree. Oh, until I see the yellow ones, then they are my favorites.
Flamboyantes have busted out all over. ¡Espectacular! Next up on the orange/red front are the African Tulip Trees. Yes, yellow and the pink and the white and the lavendar and the… No matter the time of year, there is always something in bloom!
They take my breath away whenever I encounter them. Thanks.
Mine too!
Lovely trees 🙂
About the earthquake in Oaxaca yesterday, have you heard if there was much damage?
In the city, warning sirens sounded, my front door rattled, but I didn’t feel a thing. However, other parts of the city and the villages definitely felt the rocking and rolling. I haven’t seen any reports of damage. However, last night we also had a severe thunderstorm; lightening strikes, wind blowing down trees, hail, and major flooding. Mother Nature is definitely making her presence known!
