Flamboyant Tree (Delonix regia)

The Flamboyant Tree (Delonix regia), also known as the Royal Poinciana or Flame Tree, is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful flowering trees in the entire tropical world. Its vast, umbrella-shaped canopy erupts in a sea of blazing scarlet-orange, orchid-like flowers in the dry season, creating a spectacle that stops traffic and commands attention from hundreds of metres away. Its feathery, fern-like leaves provide delicate, dappled shade the rest of the year. A non-negotiable choice for anyone wanting the ultimate statement tree for a large garden, park, or estate.
