Poinciana, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, (Also commonly known as Pride
of Barbados) has an electric-orange flower that seems to try and
outshine the sun. The poinciana has an airy, tropical look. It will
grow as a small tree in milder climates, but in South Texas it usually
blooms at about 5 feet tall after dying back to the roots every
winter. A similar species, C. gilliesii, is as drought resistant
and sun loving as C. pulcherrima but the flower is a drab yellow
rather than the electric-orange. Butterflies and hummingbirds like
poinciana, unfortunately, so do the deer. |
