Most likely Cassia nealii, the Rainbow shower cassia. The local name is canafistula for all varieties that include Golden & Pink showers. Their bloom schedule is the same as the flame tree. Beautiful!
That's what I thought! I was given a specimen of rainbow cassia about 6 years ago from a horticulturist friend in Miami. I planted it outside my kitchen window and it grew into a large and beautiful tree in a short time. Unfortunately we were hit with a freeze that lasted over a week and the tree totally died. I was really sad to lose it. My son chopped it down last week and I replaced it with blue bamboo that can't freeze. It is a spectacular tree! (But not for Orlando, Florida.)

Now that the rubber is hitting the road, I hope that things remain peaceful.
Hi Jane
What kind of tree is that? Cassia?
Angelo, I agree with the sentiment. In spite of rhetoric and increasing crime rate, we're still a pretty peaceful island.
Wendy, I have no idea. I'm glad you've given me a name I can use as a start to finding out!
The meeting went well. We'll see how things develop.
Hi, nice photos and nice place. Hope to visit it one day.
