The so beloved Flamboyant, one of the most beloved trees on our islands, does not originally come from Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao or even from the Caribbean.
Everyone with a good knowledge of nature on the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao know that the Bringamosa plant has a very close relationship with the Flaira.
One of the most conspicuous flowers you can find almost all over the place on all three islands of Aruba Bonaire and Curaçao is of the invasive plant called Beyisima, Beyísima or Coralita (Antigonon leptopus).
There are two (2) tree species on the island that have been the source of an enormous amount of discussions and disagreements between people because of their name; the Kibrahacha and the Brasia.
