About this Global Cover Collection Edition:

The royal poinciana, also known as the flame tree, is native to Madagascar but is now found in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.

The plant has a strong connection to Christianity. Legend has it that the crown of thorns, placed on Jesus'' head before his crucifixion, was made from the branches of a poinciana tree. As a result, the tree is considered a symbol of Christ''s suffering and is associated with the Easter season.

The vibrant red-orange colour of its flowers is also said to represent the flames of the Holy Spirit.
