Pity we can't see the leaves or habit. But compare with Metrosideros polymorpha.

Looks like a Callistemon flower viewed from the end.

No, it's not Callistemon. Wrong leaves, such as are visible, ,and wrong flower..

I think it’s closer to Combretum. Maybe Combretum constrictum?

Thank you for the replies.

An interesting thing about the flower is it grows directly on the tree. No stem.

I saw another tree with one growing on the trunk.

Maybe Brownea macrophylla.

That is very close carol. Nice.

I think it’s funny that this plant looks like it could have been from myrtaceae, combretaceae, or fabaceae. Quite a strange customer.

Mystery solved. Thank you Carol.

It's also known as Panama Flame Tree/Rose of Venezuela.
