Caption: "Hundreds of Royal Poinciana trees border S. Miami Ave., Miami, Fla." On the reverse: "Between May and July this avenue is ablaze with the flaming Royal Poinciana, affording a never to be forgotten sight to persons who have never seen nature in such brilliant array."
Sent from Hollywood Fla to Rhode Island in 1955.
"We visited a park to-day and saw all the animals and things. Then we went to Miami. Saw Arthur Godfrey's Hotel. Lois, Bill and Roger"
Today I think most people would be interested in the beach, shopping or the nightlife at South beach. Arthur Godfrey is not remembered.

Great postcard. It's been a little frigid in Florida for the last two months. No snow, but low temps. I'm ready for spring too :-)

OOO, I do remember him...very well. NOW, see...that sure does DATE me. :))
Very very pretty post card. Come on down to FL. great weather
its is some what cool on some days. but I am from PA and its not really cold to me.
If you are having rain, it's a lot warmer where you are than where I am.
Very pretty card. So colorful.
Lots of snow (for us) here in the NE, too. Beginning to be jealous of my in-laws. Very pretty card, I love the colors.
I have a few old cards like this. I love going back in time and look at them. Brings back so many great, long ago memories.
Just love old postcards. Love to read the back of them...such a time capsule
The postcard is lovely. The colours are still so vivid. I can't sympathize with your weather though. There is a windchill warning this morning in Brandon Manitoba Canada where I live. The current temperature is minus 30 celicus with wind chill making it feel like minus 44 celicus. Happy vintage Thursday and keep warm.
Such a lovely image! And I have to thank you for sharing this - because of your post I googled Royal Poinciana Trees, wondering if they are possibly the lovely trees we have here in Los Angeles down one street. Turns out ours are something different, Coastal Coral Trees, but I may have never found out if it hadn't been for your postcard. :)
And I remember Arthur Godfrey. I'm not sure why though??? Even though I'm as old as dirt teehee, he's before my time. I guess I must have seen him on reruns on TV?
Happy VTT,

I see these linen cards, they are really neat. The sceen looks sereal today, we have 10" of snow on the ground.
Happy VTT
