Key West FL: What is the name of the flowering tree with the?

Question

reddish orage flowers?

Answer 1

Might be a crepe myrtle tree. They have no bark on the tree almost as if it was sanded down.

Answer 2

Hi:

I agree the one that comes to mind is the Bougainvillea.

Here are a few other possibilities.

Red Powderpuff

Firebush, which is also known as the Hummingbird bush

Lipstick Hibiscus

Cape Honeysuckle

I will link you to the tropics section of my website. There is a page on the Bougainvillea species and the Powderpuff is also on that page. I hope this helps identify your tree. Good luck to you and have a great day!
