This beautiful tree in my garden is a native tree from Brazil, named Canafístula or Chuva-de-Ouro (mean in English "Rain of Gold"). The Cassia ferruginea, from the family Leguminosae-Caesalpinoideae, bears the most flagrant flowers, which are arranged in hanging racemes. The flowers appear in October, November and December. Beside the Chuva-de-Ouro stands the exuberant Mango Tree.

This is SUCH a BEAUTIFUL Tree, Sonia....I remember seeing it on your other blog before...But it is quite something to see it once again.....Rain Of Gold, Indeed! I love how these flowers cascade in a clump like that....And the color....MOST Extrordinary.....!
And I hope you have a GREAT Weekend, too.....They said we are going to get heavier Rains today...but right now the sun is out full force and not a whole lot of clouds are visable...Of course, that could ALL Change in very short order....lol!
