Graduation Flowers/卒業の花/畢業時的花朵

Cheng Kung University had its graduation this past Saturday.  I was told that these trees, with their bright, red flowers, bloom every year around this time, making these flowers a symbol of the graduation season.  I looked the flower up by its Chinese name ("Phoenix Flower", pretty rad) and it appears to be called Delonix Regia, which is pretty boring.  Wikipedia also listed the vulgar names "Royal Poinciana" and "Flamboyant" which are much more interesting.  "Flamboyant"in particular is a pretty funny name for a flower.
この木の名前は「鳳凰木」（ホウオウボク）だ。最近綺麗に咲いている。毎年この時期に咲くと聞いた。この時期が卒業時期だから、卒業時期の象徴にも成る。日本の桜と同じ役を果たしているだろう。（というのは、長崎では卒業時期に桜が間に合う事は珍しくないと思うけど、関東とかは違うのだろうか？）
我朋友告訴我在臺灣、這朵鳳凰花算是畢業的象徵。好漂亮！畢業了大家、恭喜恭喜！
