Becky here, from Venice, FL where the jacaranda trees, like giant lilacs, are in full purple bloom. We don't have any jacarandas but we do have two Royal Poincianas in our front yard. We've never seen our early-summer blooming poincias show their colors before because we fly north by the end of May. While we're here in winter, these "flamboyants" are partially or wholly deciduous and have long brown pods that hang like razor strops. This year, our royals decided to grace us with their crowning glories. The huge scarlet blooms are the size of large bowls with diameters of about 18 inches.
