Before you ask, the answer is “Royal Poinciana.” Can you now guess what the most frequently asked question is of our staff while this tree is in full bloom?
The royal poinciana is one of the most flamboyant trees in the world and we are fortunate to have it in full bloom to greet our summer guests. Its grandiose canopy provides both shade and an explosive flame color for Ocean’s Reach shell collectors as they use our shelling station. This member of the bean family bears leaves that are fernlike, lacy green and seed pods that sing with the wind.
