hi what a beaut photo/tree. is the botanical name Delonix regia? i
live in tropical Queensland Aus. and they are quite common but still
spectacular when in flower and they are unrivalled as a shade tree,
just looking at the delicate fernlike folliage has a cooling/calming
effect.The one problem with them is they produce large root systems
that can break the surface of soil around base of tree thus creating
trip hazards and various other probs.

Thanks, yes it is and I'm in SE Qld. :-)
Yes the roots can cause some problems, but the beauty of the tree, surpasses
the problems. :-)
