Day 39 - May flowers in August.


 

The spectacular Delonix regia in my neighbourhood has bloomed again.  It was called Mayflower for a reason.  But it is now August.

The tree is not a native tree, but no matter - I love those flowers.  It is not the tree's fault for having been transplanted to another continent by us humans.  It adds colour and it gives shade and does everything a tree does - except most importantly adding to the biodiversity.  

They grow quickly, give good shade, but also fall quickly.  In our neighbourhood, every monsoon at least one of these trees fall
