hmmm.....where should I sit?
SaT....those flowers are pretty. They look alot like a tree we have here in FL, the Royal Poinciana. Here's a close up of the flower.http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...99704772aGZAew
I can't post pics but I found some good links.
I think I'll take the wheel here and give you all a tour of some of my favorite tropical trees. Let's go.

The seed pods on this tree are huge. They range from 2-3 inches wide and 2-3 feet long. They fall off the tree and kids play with them because the seeds rattle inside. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...42052194NOdLtO
Here is the Yellow Poinciana, it looks exactly like the Royal but different color. These are huge trees and oftentimes the entire tree is covered with blooms. I think the seed pods on the yellow one are half the size of the red. Tree.http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2...71696169AtqxfQ

By the way that one of the tree with pods is actually from down under. I guess they have some of the same pretty trees there! Hey...it's the Newbie bus so it can cross oceans and/or continents with no problem! lol
Okay now, we're almost done with the tour. Look at this one, there's a nice shot of some upper branches and you can see a cluster of seed pods on the upper left of the photo.

One more....for you Newbie busriders to look at on our botanical tour:
The purple 'version' of this tree is the jacaranda. It's not the same tree but looks like a close cousin. This is one of the prettiest jacarandas I've ever seen.

And to think that some people think we have puny trees here in FL!
Who's going to drive next?
