About this postcard

A large golden shower tree (Cassia fistula) in full yellow bloom dominates the scene, with a purple-flowering tree at right, a low stone wall and lawn below, and a blue sky. The caption notes that the species is native to the East Indies but thrives in South Florida. It blooms in June with royal poinciana and jacaranda; planted together, the three create a blend of scarlet, yellow, and blue.

D.C.116—The Golden Shower Tree, Miami, Fla. --- The Cassia Fistula is a native of the East Indies but thrives in South Florida. It has great masses of yellow blossoms which undoubtedly suggested its more common name of "Golden Shower Tree". It blooms in June with the Royal Poinciana and Jacaranda trees and all three are sometimes planted together resulting in a brilliant blending of scarlet, yellow and blue which defies description.
