South Bay Flowering Tree

[apel]

I've been noticing a tree flowering along the freeways in the South Bay for the last month or so. It's pretty tall and the flowers are orange and look fuzzy. Think bottle brush tree flower but orange and squashed. Anybody here know what they are? I really like them.

Scotch Broom?

it's probably a grevillea robusta. That sounds vaguely like what you're describing. they're BIG. If not, maybe an acacia of some kind?
