Campus is Blooming - Flamboyants Aflame

VIMSIA is currently home to six flamboyant trees, and they demonstrate why some call them “flame trees” as they cast almost an orange glow on our campus.
To learn more about flamboyant trees and how they came to be in the US Virgin Islands check out this St. Thomas Source article from last summer. Did You Know Flamboyant Trees Are Originally From Madagascar?
