The first tree is on the Interamericana in David. The second one is maybe a half kilometer before you enter David on Via Boquete; it stands alongside of the Casa de Artesanias (which is not a bad place to buy painted and decorated tiles). I dearly love this tree--it has such character! Oh yes, free of charge, you also see our white Nissan Frontera truck.
Spectacular, yes, but the tree is has other interesting features. For one thing, the foliage is fern-like. Click on the upper left image, look towards the bottom of the tree and you'll see the frond-like character. I've also included an image of our flamboyán below; it's too young to bloom yet--needs a few years--but the character of the foliage is pretty clear.
One result, other than the visual, is that just like other legumes, the tree enriches the soil around it!
And to sum up, I've included a picture of yet another spectacular flowering tree. I asked that question of a dear friend, a long-time resident: "What's that purple flowering tree called, Jack?" He looked at me seriously and said, "Around here, everyone calls it the purple flowering tree."
