Garden today. Clean next week.
Have always loved the word Poinciana, now I love the tree too. I don't think they grow here.
Your banner is a visual fiesta.
I think I started to say something else but fiesta fits the picture.

Beautiful banner photo Hetty! I love thatl tree ... wish the Royal Poinciana grew this far north in Florida! The yellow version is gorgeous too.

Whenever I'm in the southern part of the state I stand and gawk at those beautiful trees.

This, incidentally, is in my front yard. Even though it has gotten a lot bigger than I had hoped or expected, I have never regretted planting it.

Oh my goodness ... what a Beauty! Hetty, if you haven't put that photo in the database yet it sure needs to be there!
