These trees are in full bloom...


...but I have no idea what they are called. There is a whole row of them lining Riverside Drive in Perth and I simply love it when they are in bloom. I find these trees absolutely elegant. The trunk leans ever so slightly and the branches all grow out in a certain way. The red blooms just top it all off.

If you know what they are called, could you please tell me?

    I think it is called the coral tree or flame tree (not the Illawarra flame tree though) it is an Erythrina. If it's the one I think it is. Are the idividual flowers shaped like a pea pod?
