It is interesting to see it blooming off of the tree. Is it an epiphyte?

No, I just choose one isolated flower from the trunk (that make it look like epiphyte). It a big tree with a lot of flowers, orange and scarlet bloom in January and February that cover all over the tree, very beautiful to watch.

Here reference from Wikipedia:_
"Saraca L. is a genus in the family Fabaceae (legume family) of about seventy plant species of tree native to the lands from India, China and Ceylon to Malaysia and Celebes".

The first shot captures amazing light on the flowers so well framed by the dark trunk. The second is brilliant too.
