This has to be one of the most spectacular images of a flame tree that I have seen yet! To start with the size of the tree is a lot bigger than most that I have seen. This tree is a Brachychiton Acerifolius, native to Australia.

Flame tree in full bloom - Brachychiton Acerifolius
This native Australian tree is one of the more dramatic members of the Brachychiton familhy. As you can see from this picture it can be very dramatic when in bloom. In this case all the leaves have fallen just prior to blooming. This does not always occur though. I have seen many Flame trees keep most of their leaves while in bloom and with far fewer flowers. When the the flame tree flowers fall to the ground they totally cover the surface with little red bells that look like drops of blood.
