Flaming and very useful



The flame tree (Delonix regia or Poinciana regia) can reach 40 feets high.

Its very hard wood
is used in the construction industry. With his dried fruits, local artisans fabricate jewelry, musical instruments and door curtains. A pigment is extracted from its flowers. Be careful, the seeds of the flame tree are very toxic.
