Delonix Regia/ホウオウボク/鳳凰木

The Delonix Regia really has to be one of the most beautiful trees in the world.  They've been in full bloom here in Tainan recently.  I took some photos of these red and yellow flowered ones recently.  Apparently, the tree is from Madagascar originally, but they're planted all over Tainan.  The ones I took below were out towards Anping.

ホウオウボク(鳳凰木)は元々マダガスカルの木だけど、明治時代に台湾に植えて、現在の台南に沢山ある。最近は満開の季節なので、写真を撮って来た。この木はめっちゃ綺麗で、気に入った!

我真的喜歡這種樹!它叫做「鳳凰木」。原本是馬達加斯加的一種樹,但是從明治時代傳到臺灣,現在種在臺南的很多。還有別的種類這麼漂亮嗎?應該沒有啊。











I messed around with the color on this last photo.  It has the potential to be Monet-esque I think, in the hands of someone more talented with art software.

最後の一枚は私が色を変更したものだ。本当はモネーの様な感じにしたかったが、こういうソフトはうまく使えない。

這最後一張是我改色的。
