The Garden
A wonderful description of this tree exists in H Finch-Hatton’s book Advance Australia:
‘In the middle of the garden, on a patch of smooth green turf, stands the most magnificent Poinciana tree I ever saw about 60 feet high, with huge spreading boughs sweeping right down to the ground. The foliage is light green and exactly resembles the leaf of a sensitive plant, and in summer it is literally covered with huge spiral flowers of the most brilliant crimson.’
