I have one of those trees, it is a Tabebuia, the trees I am seeing are more vase like in overall shape and the flowers are move pyramidal with the blooms looking like upside down grapes, small at the top and taper to a larger base.

I adore Frangipagi! A taste of Hawaii

No, not a Cassia fistula, or any other Cassia. My best guess is that it is a Peltophorum pterocarpum, which is commonly called a Yellow Poinciana, but it is not a Delonix regia, which is the Royal Poinciana. There is a true yellow Delonix regia (of which I know of a half-dozen specimens in the Miami area, notably one in front of the south entrance to Fairchild Tropical Garden), that grows and looks like a Royal Poinciana, and the blossoms are the same size and shape as those of a Royal Poinciana, only yellow. There is also an orange Poinciana, and quite a few more specimens of those around Miami than there are of the yellow.

Common names are common names, but the Yellow Poinciana that is a Peltophorum should not be confused with might be called the "true" Yellow Poinciana, which probably should be the yellow Delonix regia. Possibly the best thing to do is to just call the tree that grows up in the Treasure Coast area a Peltophorum, so there is no confusion. No matter what you call it, it is still a very striking tree when it is in bloom.

The picture FlaLadyB posted above looks like the same type that is planted all along Ocean Boulevard in Stuart. They aren't large (maybe 20 feet) and while the flowers are striking and unique, the tree has such an odd growth habit that the rest of the year (minus the flowers), it's not attractive at all. They don't seem to have a regular trunk. The branches go in all directions and look twisted, and the city has stakes on some of them just to keep them standing. Whoever chose to plant them obviously didn't think too much about how odd they look the rest of the time.

You may be talking about the Mimosas. They are yellow and red:
