Three top tropical trees - from the legends of Caribbean
Yellow Poinciana, Jacaranda, and Royal Poinciana paintings
Yellow Poinciana
Jacaranda
Royal Poinciana
While traveling through the vibrant and diverse Caribbean, we acquired three exquisite local paintings rendered on jacaranda wood plates and a calabash. These pieces of art celebrate the three most spectacular and revered flowering trees of the Tropics:
- Yellow Poinciana, with its bright golden blossoms, associated with joy and sunlight, symbolizing the warmth of the Caribbean spirit💛
- Jacaranda, known for its striking lavender-blue flowers, is a symbol of wisdom and rebirth, blooming in a breathtaking display that signals the change of seasons 💜
- Royal Poinciana, that we mentioned earlier, with its fiery red and orange flowers, is a symbol of passion and energy, referred to as the "Flamboyant" tree due to its bold and dramatic appearance ♥️
Get them now while we have them. No need to go too far into Caribbean!

- 🟣 Petrea volubilis, also known as Queen's Wreath or Sandpaper vine, is a twining vine with large, rough leaves - just like a sandpaper!
- 🟣 But look at the flowers - spectacular Royal show! Does it remind you of a Northern Wisteria? It is actually another common name of Petrea - Tropical Wisteria.
- 🟣 The tall clusters of purple flowers, reaching over 1 foot long 👀 are truly spectacular.
- 🟣 Thriving in warm and humid conditions, its blooms last a couple of days, but the blue calices persist much longer, and more new flowers are coming every day.
- 🟣 Attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds 🐝
- 🟣 This woody vine grows fast and can cover a large fence within just a couple of seasons. It's a show stopper! 👏
