This is not unusual. Basically as the name suggests this tree is non native(Native of tropical Africa). The flowering season may vary. Secondly many trees show flowering and at the same time the fruits from flowers of earlier season are still seen hanging on the tree. You can observe this phenomenon at present on Albizia trees showing flowers as well as pods. Anyway beautiful pictures of Sausage tree. Satish
