Punica granatum - Pomegranate flower and developing fruit

Are the blooms very large Delonix?

Milky:

Yes, the flowers are fairly long: to 3 - 5 in/ 8 - 13 cm long.

ive never seen a pomegranate flower before.......

Really interesting to see, lovely picture.

Sandra:

I was surprised to hear from Mushybanna that pomegranates weren't grown there...as they are very hardy large shrub. They do need very hot temps to develop fruit though. They are commercially grown in the central valleys of California where the average high temps in summer are 98 degrees F. / 37 degrees C.
