Yes, they're blooming now. They're absolutely gorgeous. I've got a few seedlings sprouting now, no room in the yard for a tree this big, thinking I'll either sell it at a botanical sale or make it into a bonsai. Too many hobbies, too much time at work. :/

I love this tree think I have seen them blooming when I go visit relatives in your part of town.

They're all over Bradenton! Blooming & seeding now! :) Thank you, I love this tree, too. Been looking for more Royal Poinciana seeds, but the tree's in my neighborhood are to high for me to reach the pods, I need to start bringing a fruit picker & ladder when I go seed hunting out of my backyard, LOL
