Here in Florida, the Poincianas and Royal Poincianas are in full bloom. When we purchased the condo, we used it as a winter holiday place, 4 weeks in December/January and then returned to the deep freeze that is Montréal (Canada) 9 months of the year. Then in 2000, we spend 3 weeks in Florida in June. The first time we saw one of those poincianas, we parked the car so we could look at it. The property's owner was working on his lawn so he crossed the street and invited us to come see it up close. We really must have looked like we had just fallen off the turnip truck, walking around this massive tree with our heads up, going OOOH and AAAH.

Hurricane Wilma tore out most of that tree. The owner removed the rest but memories remain and there are plenty more poincianas in bloom right now.

Sylvain.
