Poinciana - Delonix regia


November 30, the rain, heat and sun have brought out the Poincianas.
Will hunt around for a better shot, perhaps a bit more against a blue sky where they really look great, but for the moment I'll use this as a kind of place mark to note the time of year when they really come into full bloom.

Internet searches say it originates from Madagascar.

OK, to kick things off on a blog on trees we start with a seed in a seed pod. This one is from a street in Forest Lake. I'll keep the text short so I can get used to the format of the blog and work on it's presentation.

Happy Tree Hugging!
