Delonix Regia, or the Flame Tree

I had posted a picture of a beautiful Flame Tree last week, but didn't yet know the name of the tree. It is called Delonix Regia, or Flame Tree. In Saipan, another of the Marianas islands, they have a Flame Tree Festival every Spring. This year's was the 28th annual. I wish I were a better photographer, because I am told that the trees are particularly beautiful this year.

Here's a Flickr photo of some in Saipan.
