I spotted this tree in a front garden nearby; it is a large tree and is covered with red "flowers" like this. I found it to be called "Flame of the forest-Butea Monosperma". It is not native to this region.The flowers, leaves and bark have medicinal properties too much to mention here.

Well handled reds.

I do know the plant - we call it a Flame Tree. And I call it a pest!! It grows big - too big - and even when chopped down it can even grow from the branches left on the ground. It does look attractive...

Wow, how beautiful they are. Looks like really thick petals too. Very nice and has Christmas colors too! :)
