Brachychiton acerfolius =Illawarra Flame Tree.
Seen yesterday flowering in the main Road of Corinth.
A great surprise as I had never seen it before in my life.
And I have lived in Corinth for at least 40 years!

Living in Korinthos, Greece.
No garden but two balconies, one facing south and the other north.
Most of my plants are succulents which need little care

First time I, too, have seen it in the flesh (I have seen and marvelled over photos a few times!)
27may12 - Eleouthkia botanic park, Mandria, Cyprus
Only a small tree, but very noticeable and distinctive.
