Blooming trees and fruits in season

Nestling among the greenery one can see a flash of pink . It is the Pride of India Lagerstromia Speciosa  now coming into bloom. This is the second time it has bloomed since I planted it  several years ago.
 A closer look at it. This is a Crape myrtle  tree and it is also called Queen's flowers.

 My pink cassia has been in bloom since last month .
 The Royal Poinciana, delonix regia or Flamboyant,  is now peeping out here and there.
 Mangoes are still young and will be ready in another 4-6 weeks.
 Avocados, known as Zaboca and pear in some of the islands will be ready hopefully around August. I just love this fruit! Do you know it makes a great ice cream?
