Since the very first time I saw one, I fell in love with the Flamboyant tree (pronounced flam-boy-YANT with a Caribbean accent). Their flowers signal the first rains of the season, and their seed pods are good percussian instruments. You can never have too many Flamboyant trees, I always say. ;-)

Here are several on and adjacent to our Ixtapa property.
