Cockspur Coral tree bloom (?)

Our Garden

This tree is in our garden and has abundant, stunning flowers this year, each cluster measuring approx 12 inches.
Each little flower on the cluster, which is shaped like a fireman’s helmet, lasts only about
one day and plops to the deck with quite a “thud”!
I think it is a Cockspur Coral Tree - Erythrina crista-galli

Lovely... they also make a nice red carpet on the ground.
