    This was in a private garden in Honolulu. Small pink flowers, maybe 2cm or less, 5 petals, in some complex inflorescence. Leaves look just like Cassia fistula to me - they appear to be double pinnate, but are single pinnate with long curved branches, leaves alternate. The flowers don't look anything like Cassia.

    Yes it does look like that, and I have never seen those flowers. Awesome. Thanks.
