I have been to Sharme El Sheikh in Egypt twice now and this tree is growing everywhere some in flower and some with the seed pods dangling, it was also all over Ciaro. I brought some seed pods home and planted some of the seed and 2 have sprouted! I live in the northwest of England by the way, and they are growing in my greenhouse at the moment, we are having a hot and excelent summer this year. DELANEY IS SO HOT!!!!!poincianas?? ==

I'd like to debate that line about there being 'lilac' poincianas in Puerto Rico. Without documentation, I doubt such a colour variation is possible, and I think the writer is getting the flamboyants mixed up with jacarandas - they have a very similar leaf and umbrella, but the flowers are of a completely different shape and the branch growth is rather different on closer examination.

Pending somebody coming up with a photograph, I'm editing that phrase out.

(I just finished sweeping under my own poinciana, in fact)
