flamboyant

Flamboyant - my capoeira teacher picked this word as my apelido (nickname) for capoeira. (Here's and English site on capoeira). It's common for everyone who plays the martial art to have an apelido.

I poked around on the Net and found much info on the Flamboyant tree. It looks a little like my tattoo, doesn't it? I would love to see this tree! It seems I must go to Africa or the Caribbean to find one! So remember, it's flamboyant (pronounced with a French accent) as in the tree, not the adjective;) I don't think I'm flamboyant at all.

Actually, you can find Flamboyants in Brazil too (the weather is similar) I remember seeing lots of them in Salvador and some in Belo Horizonte, Campinas... :-)
