That's a beautiful tree, Andy! Where you live there seem to be many beautiful flowering trees! :)

Thanks 🙏.

Yes, the millions of Jacarandas, Tipu (apricot-colored flowers) and Gold Medallion shower trees are flowering now, also. The Jacarandas will be done flowering over the next 3 weeks, though. Lots of Plumeria and African Tulip tres flowering now, also.

I would dearly love to see that sight! :)

Here in the spring we get a great many flowering trees, some in our streets others in less looked after zones. In this town, especially where we live, there are thousands of May (Hawthorn) trees as well as Horse Chestnut trees. This town is possibly the UK capital for Horse Chestnut trees! Though a great many of them were planted around here in the early 1960s there is an area of them, on what was a private estate many years ago, that are centenarians. They each produce 1000s of "candles" every year & are a sight to behold! :)

Balcony,

I’ve seen the many Chestnut trees flowering in Europe several times. It’s a beautiful sight! I’ve never seen one here in San Diego, CA.

I did an extensive list of flowering tropical, subtropical trees on GoY many years ago. The list is extremely long.
The many flowering trees bloom in every season here. Some trees like the beautiful African Tulip trees can bloom any time of the year. They all have their own cycle. Many very popular species of Erythrina (coral trees); Bauhinia (orchid trees) bloom all year.

It must be fantastic to see trees that bloom all year round! But I suppose you get used to seeing them after a time & it's little different from seeing trees in leaf all year round! :(

I always look forward to seeing all the tropical trees in bloom. I always discover something new here. Sometimes a tropical tree flowering, that’s “not supposed to grow here”. Many years ago Delonix regia (Royal Poinciana) and Covillea reacemosa were “not supposed to grow” in San Diego…and now there are many here.
