royal poinciana grows with a big flowering canopy like an umbrella; it's more red-orange than red ...
I wouldn't try to transplant an African tulip. They like to seed themselves. It's important to pull out the seedlings when really young, a few inches. By the time they get a real stem they don't pull, and if you cut them they come back.
I enjoy the colorful flame trees (they are here and not going anywhere), but I wouldn't plant an orange one in my yard. I love the yellow ones; good to learn they're sterile!
