Once again showing my ignorance, I present another What's This? I was pleased to find this tree flowering nearby. Unfortunately, it's such a tall tree, it's difficult to get close up shots of the flower. If only I had access to a crane or a hot air balloon. I did drive past an even more beautiful example last weekend but, alas, there was nowhere to stop to try for a photograph. It reminds me of poinciana but with larger leaves, although the trees are far less common than the glorious poinciana which are still hogging the horizon around here.
[edit 15/1/12: My daughter found out that this is a pink cassia, pink shower tree or cassia bakeriana. It's a native of Thailand and is drought resistant.]
