The Delonix regia is enough to paint the sky red , add the bougainvillea to it and you have shades of red and pink. Delonix regia is a tropical tree that blooms in summer mid April to mid July. It grows to about 30-40 feet in height and has boughs of red flowers hanging from it in the flowering season. (I will write about this in another post.)
The bougainvillea is almost always in bloom. Despite the lack of smell the plant is very popular because of its every present blooms and vibrant color in the garden. The bougainvillea being a climber takes the support of fences and trees and hangs beautifully from them.
I have always had one problem with growing bougainvillea, the flowery mess they make. They flowers are light and get blown around by the wind, so I have to be careful to collect the before they get blown into the neighbors houses.
This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago in the park.

I love the flowering trees.
Thanks for stopping by Branka.
I saw such trees only in fairy tales!
LOL these are real tropical trees.
such a beautiful tree. Reading the scientific name, made me think of my dad!
Any special Memories attached to the name?
My dad was a biologist and often shared the names of plants as we walked. Even if we didn’t want him to share!!!! 🙂
I have seen this plant in jasmine garden .
Hmm.. I would love to be in a jasmine garden in the evening.
Flowering trees are so beautiful, I cannot pass then without stopping.
I can only nod my head in complete agreement.
I love the flowering trees. But it is true that we then have problems with the flowers
But what are those problems when compared to the beauty?
This tree is really blooming, dear friend … for the first time I hear about this tree
Thank you for stopping by Lado.
With great pleasure, my dear friend
I have two trees just in front of my house one is orange and the other one is yellow. Yes, they look beautiful and full of flowers. We generally call them fire tree (the orange ones)
I haven’t seen a yellow one in a long long time. I vaguely remember seeing one in my childhood.
Lovely and colourful flowers tree.
Thank you HinaHamid for stopping by.
My neighbor has a similar plant. Very beautiful colors.
