Hello all,

I'm in Europe (Belgium).
In November 2002, friends of mine made a trip to Australia (mainly the
Eastern part). Here's a picture of a tree that they saw in flower in
many places, and they say it was called a "Potania" everywhe

(Sorry, no close up of the flower is available.)
I wonder what it could be. The name sounds like "Photinia" - but those
have white flowers, don't they?
Could it be some Erythrina?
Thanks in advance,
Roger.

Thanks, all.
The Poinciana (Delonix regia) - yes, I never thought of that, I saw it
a few times on the island of Tenerife, but I did not realise it could
become so very big.
Nevertheless - I will ask my friend about the leaves, and about
eventual old seed pods hanging down (that should be a clue too, I
think.)
Regards,
Roger.
