African tulip tree

Tulipanero africano

Спатодея

This tree is planted extensively as an ornamental tree throughout the tropics and is much appreciated for its very showy reddish-orange or crimson (rarely yellow), campanulate flowers. The flower bud is ampule-shaped and contains water. The open flowers are cup-shaped and hold rain and dew, making them attractive to many species of birds.
