Anyone else heard it referred to as that? Just returned from our first stay on St. John and had beautiful red blooms on the tree by our deck the entire time. What great pictures looking out toward Klein Bay! Hummingbirds really seem to love these trees, too...

I always forget how magnificent these trees are until they burst into bloom every year. Years ago (before we moved here) I grew a flamboyant tree in a pot on my patio in Massachusetts from a seed I got from Luna. I had to bring it inside every winter and it never got to be more than four feet tall but it was quite a conversation piece. Thanks, nice video!

I missed this feature too. The music added a dramatic and insirational touch. We hit Caneel for our anniversary in less than two weeks. Very interesting to learn about this "well travelled" tree. Looks like I'll be wasting another hour or so Googling more info. Have a great day everybody! - Kevin Very nice … I missed this feature too. The music added a dramatic and insirational touch.
