Royal Poinciana (Delonix regia)
Location: Kohala Coast, Big Island, Hawaii
Back in May, I posted a photo of buds on a branch of a Royal Poinciana tree in my garden. The trees now are in full bloom, bearing masses of brilliant red-orange blossoms. In this wide-angle photo of my back garden, you can see the Royal Poincianas in the background. Today's photo shows what an individual blossom looks like.

What a beautiful blossom that is.
yes, iI agree, it is very beautiful, very vibrant.
Wow! What a beautiful flower! Just exquisite. I enjoyed scrolling down the page too. I love your moon and clouds photo with that dramatic red in the corner.
That is one extremely beautiful flower :)Perfect for Ruby Tuesday!!
Oh my goodness that is lovely!
What a glorious pic of a radiant flower! Love this!
I can't imagine having an entire tree covered in these blossoms - it must be an incredible sight.
The vibrancy of the colours make this truly a beautiful photograph.
Splendid as a backsrop and exquisite up close! Hawaii certainly has much beauty!!
Beautiful shot!
Lovely portrait of a lovely flower.
there's something about unopened blossoms that I love, it's like visiting newborn babies at the nursery

Oh Wow, that is so beautiful! Had to close my mouth on that one! Have a blessed day!
Gorgeous! Well photographed.
I like this photo, in the Macro. What appeals to me is the blurry background which enforces the attention needed to clearly view the artists intent.
I miss an SLR, prior to the wheelchair, I used Pentax K1000 (all manual) and an 80-205 lens. It is wayyyy too heavy to handle these days, hope to have a digital SLR some day.
Gorgeous! :D
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
Hello to all my Ruby Tuesday friends. Thank you for visiting and adding your comments. I appreciate the feedback.
@ Ralph -- I hope you can get a DSLR camera soon. It's amazing how much lighter they are than the old SLR cameras.

A lovely blossom and I've always loved the name, Poinciana! Happy Ruby Tuesday, Bobbie!
I love seeing the poinciana in bloom. I live in SW Florida and I'm going to try and grow some from seeds someday.

You make gorgeous pictures, I really enjoyed scrolling around here!
Great red colour and nice contrast between the flower and the background! :)
A very beautiful flower, lovely colours ! Well captured with nice bokeh !
You had an awesome nikon lens !
Thank you all for visiting. I think I have managed to visit all your Ruby Tuesday posts, too. What a talented group this is!
@ Tink - I wish I could send you some seeds. Our trees produce an over-supply of the seed pods every year. We have to gather them up and haul them away to the dump. It seems such a shame.
@ Jinghui - Yes, the Nikon 105.mm is my favorite for these kinds of shots.

Such a pretty flowers. I'm almost flowerless in my yard right now and my heart just isn't in it. Keep up the good work with the yard, flowers and the photos.
:-)
What a stunning photo of a beautiful blossom. It's perfect for Ruby Tuesday ~
@ 2Sweet - No flowers in your yard? Don't you live in southern California? Well, regardless, you certainly seem to know where to find great flowers to photograph when you are out and about. ;-}
@ Patti - Thank you very much.
