Cassia Fistula

Miami had many of these flowering trees called "Golden Shower Trees" that bloom beautifully in June... until hurricane Andrew came by in August, 1992. As a consequence, there are only a few of these trees left to bloom in Miami because they are not designed for strong winds. This one is near the South Miami Hospital, in full bloom ... I wonder why the city does not replant these beautiful trees?
