Delonix regia - Flame of the Forest

So here we are again, on Super Bowl Sunday, talking about plants. Here is a picture of the first seed to sprout, one of the Flame of the Forests (AKA Royal Poinciana)

Not very impressive, I know, but I am excited! Here is a picture that I found on the Interweb of what the plant looks like when it is all grown up:

And the flowers!:

It seems that the tree is endemic to the Madagascar dry deciduous forests, where it is endangered. Wiki says that the tree is widely cultivated throughout the world, and in South Florida the tree usually flowers in June. It is often grown as a shade tree because of it's modest average height of five meters and wide spread.
