Yellow tree, Red tree

This yellow tree photo was taken March 2007

The yellow tree above, Yellow Poui (Tabebuia serratifolia), is "The flowering tree of March" here. The very bright yellow flowers arrive before the leaves, so it looks just "yellow tree", so gorgeous. Every year, when March comes, we see these trees everywhere and they make us feel spring. But this year, yellow trees were not so yellow, not many flowers, not everywhere. Because the temperature was much lower this year? Before the flowers cover the tree, the leaves started to come out, didn't make yellow tree all yellow.

But now "The flowering tree of April", Weeping Bottlebrush (Callistemon viminalis) is OK, they are in full bloom everywhere. Red tree.

いつも３月になるとすぐ、この黄色の木があちこちに現れて、フロリダの春の訪れを知らせてくれます。葉が出る前に花が咲くので、言葉どおり「黄色の木」になるのです。３月の花、黄色の木、今年はダメでした。気温が例年よりもグッと低かったせいでしょうか・・・・・

でも４月の花、ボトルブラッシュは無事でした。今盛んに咲いています。赤い木です。
