For the past couple of weeks the Flambouyant trees have been bursting into full bloom!!! Dotting the island (STT where I live) with brilliant splashes of orange, red and yellow.
Joy, Oh Joy - Look around, look around and enjoy the beauty of this island paradise. Flowers blooming everywhere!
I know what you mean. I was there last week and the Flambouyant trees were amazing!!! I spent the week trying to figure out of to make them grow in Texas :).

paul YOU MUST post that pic url....it is gorgeous! thanks for the upbeat thread it is time we remember the gorgeous things about the usvi...especially the people!
We sent some flamboyant seeds back to my grandmothers home in SE Texas hoping to get some of them growing there back in the '70's. A little tree came up but died with the 1st cold front. And it doesn't get very cold here on the coast. So I don't know if they'd do very well here. 🙁
Gorgeous!
