Winter in the pacific, the flamboyant royal poinciana gives a natural holiday-vibe

Having spent one of many December solstices abroad, the poinciana definitively reminds a Northerner of the traditional yule/xmas-celebrations.

In Vanuatu there where a lot of them, really making the islands a perfect spot for a winter break.

This tree, originally from Madagascar, are spread all over the zone where the global travellers of old needed a heavy spot of lively colours.

Understandably.
