Both my fire trees are in bloom. The one in the back yard decided to make flowers but no leaves.

Yes, that would be what is commonly called the Flame Tree or Royal Poinciana, Delonix regia. I love this time of year with these trees in bloom and
Hooded Orioles and Cardinals roosting in them. Que colores! Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delonix_regia

I have to snap a picture of my boojum, he's only about a foot, been growing since a seedling about 15 years old! LaTijereta - 6-1-2009 at 08:41 PM

We had one in Yuma but it did not tolerate a freeze and insect damage (wood boring beetles). Hated to loose it.Bob H - 6-2-2009 at 09:36 AM
When I was a kid, growing up in Miami, they were all over the place. We called them royal Poinciana's. Most of the ones in the Miami area also did
not have leaves when they were in full bloom, just lots and lots of great looking blooms.
