Yellow Flowering Tree
The tree has several common names. People call it yellow
poinciana, yellow flame tree, copper-pod or yellow flamboyant tree. Flamboyant is
the tree’s well-known name here. I captured these yellow flowers from moving
car.
Based on floridata.com,
I read that yellow Poinciana trees are usually planted as specimen trees or as
shade trees. They are used as street trees in tropical cities, and commonly
planted for shade in tropical and subtropical gardens. They are fast-growing
and strong, but they can’t put up with frost.

Most tropical trees have difficulties tolerating frost.
The golden tree is so pretty.
