Also called "Pride of Barbados" Now I'll wait for the butterflies to find it like last year:

There is a song about this tree lyrics by Buddy Bernier, recorded in 1944 by Bing Crosby
Don't know why anyone would sing to a tree!
Poinciana,
Your branches speak to me of love.
Pale moon is casting shadows from above.
Poinciana,
Somehow I feel the jungle heat.
Within me there grows a rhythmic savage beat.
Love is ev'rywhere,
Its magic perfume fills the air.
To and fro you sway,
My heart's in time,
I've learned to care.
Poinciana,
Though skies may turn from blue to gray,
My love will live forever and a say.
