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.

Sonia--Luxurious! I would have to pull up a chair & sit by this tree all day long.
ReplyDeleteI wish it were raining gold here. Lovely tree.
ReplyDeleteSonia, the tree is beautiful. It looks like a cross between orchids and wisteria.

ReplyDeleteSonia-- I tried to leave a comment last night, but Blogger was having problems.
ReplyDeleteThese yellow blossoms are so lovely. My brain produced the fragrance of gardenia when I was looking at them.
I appreciate so much seeing the lush beauty of Brazil, while we are firmly in the grip of winter.
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteSonia, what a treat, thank you for posting these photos, both in this post and the one below. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI will have to get my atlas out and try and work out where your home is on a map of Brazil. I'm intrigued now.
Wow, Sonia! Those trees look beautiful and I envy you the blue sky. We've been having overcast days.

ReplyDeleteHi, Sonia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading all your posts to my blog, especially that you share my memories (horrible though they may be!) of having ether.
Now this Rain of Gold tree of yours, that is beautiful, and I'm wondering if it is related to a tree we have called laburnum http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/trees-new/laburnum_anagyroides.html
It looks like a smaller version of yours. (Sorry I couldn't figure out how to make that a live link)
The blossoms on the tree look like orchids. They are sublime!
ReplyDeleteThank you Slap me silly sally, for your comment!
