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.

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. : > )
