January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post This beautiful huge old tree was too big to fit in one frame and so I had to make a panoramic photo of it. Hope the upload works
February 8, 201412 yr Popular Post There's a story behind this tree....something about it being one of three that protect Chiang Mai... It'd certainly spoil your day if it fell on you! This doesn't really convey just how big it is... so there's another challenge for me. Wat Chedi Luang, Chiang Mai

February 11, 201412 yr Uttaradit area IMG_8636.jpg I am always strangely charmed by trees hanging over roads. I find them someway appealing.. Me too- especially when there are many and the road becomes like a rabbit warren.
February 11, 201412 yr Whats the name of these trees please? 04-05-2012-(47).jpg Jimmy is right when he says it is a Flame tree or Flamboyant Tree . The latin name is Delonix regina and is a Rainforest native to Madagascar (I looked the source up) , i thought it was Malaysia and India . I learnt the common name as being Poiceiana . Beautiful tree ,often used as a street tree in Brisbane and further north in Oz.

Flame of the Forest Butea monospermaThis tree gets up to 50 ft high, with stunning flower clusters. It loses its leaves as the flowers develop, January - March. http://www.plantcreations.com/butea_monosperma.htm
February 15, 201412 yr Interesting link here..... .... not same flame tree.... http://buteasuperbaherb.com/
February 15, 201412 yr Butea Superba according to a google search is used for erectile dysfunctional problems , a natural Viagra in other words. Of course that use would be of no interest to any of us.
