Delonix regia
Sturdy and wide growing tree, with fine lightgreen leaves in a cluster, like feathers. Bright Orange red flowers with four "outer" petal and one bigger petal in the middle. Large seedpods with small seeds.
On the road to Fort Bay, dry, hot area of Saba, Dutch Antilles, Caribbean.
These trees are just so gorgeous, like (as the name already suggests ) it is growing flames at the top of its canopy. I passed it every time when we went diving and finally got the dive truck to stop for some pictures.
