Title: Re: Beatiful Flowering Tree
.
        The trees I already have are Bauhinia blakeana, a flowering plum, a Stenocarpus sinuatus (Firewheel Tree), a white Bauhinia, a Chionanthus retusa (Chinese White-fringed Tree) a Tabebuia chrysotricha (Golden Trumpet Tree). a Robinia idhoensis and a Marvelous little nectarine tree!

Charles, what about floss silk (or silk floss) tree?  Spathodea, the African tulip tree is also absolutely beautiful but I wonder if it would survive in your climate.  Another unusual favorite is not known for its flowers but for its beautiful bark -- eucalyptus deglupta.  The bark is a pastel rainbow -- shades of pink, blue, and green.   Indigenous to islands north of Australia to the Philippines.  Takes water (unlike other eucs) and grows very tall (I don't recall how tall).
