Comments
The Golden Flamboyant tree lives up to its name several times over. It’s known as one of the showiest trees on the planet, boasting vibrant, bright yellow flowers in summer and smooth, fern-like leaves. On the infamous Hughes Road in Mumbai, the Golden Flamboyant is grown in rows alternately with the Royal Poinciana, which has red flowers and is in bloom at the same time, giving a striking show of color.
