I grow the Gulmohar but we call it Poinciana. I have a rare color form, my flowers are yellow. I looked at your tree and to me it looks like one of the cassia family.
oh yes there are yellow gulmohar flowers too. I have seen these luscious yellows at the IIT campus and the firy red at the neighbouring campus in Powai. I lust after these flowers.Like the bougonvilla may be I will grow them in my backyard! wish it could be grown bonsai.
