I have read the book that this photo is published in & it is actually a poincianna - beautiful wide-spreading tree that flowers in summer with red clusters of orchid-like blooms It is obviously a rainforest tree (originally from Madagasca) & needs strong control & lots of sun & water

In early 20th they were used as street trees in Brisbane, so in early summer the streets are splendid

Although they grow tall, the spread is even bigger - could be 10 meters!! Not for the faint-hearted

Thank you very much, Julia. It is so beautiful. I love anything with the look similar to fern and the tree is splendid.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Frank Organ added this to Relax and Reflect in a Blue Landscape
Use blue to highlight features like gates, obelisks, gazebos or, as here, a front entrance. Rather than having a blue door, the designer used the accent color in the side porch supports. The blue-flowering agapanthus alongside the path and the orange wood stain accentuate the blue.
