Unlike most other trees that only bloom for a few days, these beautiful Flamboyants bloom towards the end of April and last into June.

They are normally all red or all yellow, but this one flower came out as a hybrid! The rest of the flowers from the same plant all came out yellow. Does this qualify as a miracle? icon smile Bandera de Panama
