Wow that is such a beautiful bloom, and I just love the way the petals have that outline. Its gorgeous............

You topped everything this time Andy..Truly amazing...absolutely fantastic...:o)))

Wow! Thank for all the comments! : > )

Erthyrina species are very widely grown here...most people just take them for granted. However, they are pretty spectacular in bloom.. There's so many species blooming right now.

its very unusual here......;-)

Sandra:

I would think so...most are very tender tropical trees. The only hardy species are: Erythrina crista-galli and Erythrina herbacea...that I know of anyway. : > )
