Flame trees


Throughout Africa, almost any tree with red flowers is referred to as a flame tree.
These two are on the main dual carriageway in Blantyre. They are just coming out and should be a great display in a while.
I didn't realise the first one (also called a Tulip tree) had such lovely golden hues. Previously I've seen them with only the slightest of golden rims.
