Delonix Regia
25 02 2008L’opération baobab est un succès. L’arbre dont je parlais lundi dernier et qui apparaissait en photos ici a été identifié. Il ne s’agit pas d’un baobab car comme le dit Andrew, les baobabs sont énormes. Il semble que notre arbre est un flamboyant ou Delonix Regia.
Merci à mon papa pour l’identification.

Operation baobab successful. The tree I was referring to last Monday, which you can see in picture here has been identified. That is not a baobab since as Andrew noted they have ridiculously thick trunks. Our tree is apparently a flamboyant or Delonix Regia. According to wikipedia, it is also called Gulmohar, Peacock Flower, Flame of the Forest
Thanks to my dad for identifying it.
