Flamboyant in bloom - Snapshot Saturday

Today, I'm once again participating in Snapshot Saturday which is sponsored by Alyce of At Home With Books! Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos that you find online.

Flamboyants (Delonix regia) are also known as Flame Trees and it's easy to see how they got both of those names.  They are also known as Royal Poinciana, named after a former governor of St. Kitts.


Playing around with some blurring effect to make it a bit painterly.
