Flame Trees

It's flame tree season! The jungles that were lush and green when we arrived are now ablaze with red blooms. I

I equate flame trees with blue bonnets in south Texas or the cherry blossoms in Japan. The trees are only in full bloom a few weeks out of the year. There'll be sporadic blossoms through the fall but nothing like the blooms we're seeing now.

The blossoms grow in clusters all over the trees. After the blooms falls, the tree is again filled with lush green leaves.
