Great plant! It's related to the genus: Randia.

This plant look very similar to Randia macrantha.

That Randia is lovely Delonix!

Meanie:

Yes, Randia macrantha (or Euclinia longiflora) is absolutely beautiful! It doesn't grow very well here...it's too tropical.

It would be b#ggered here then!

Yes, it's super tender to even cool conditions. It's a cool weather wimp, like me. lol! :>)

That's a shame - I rather fancied this plant.

Randia macrantha (or Euclinia longiflora) would most likely only do well in a heated greenhouse where you live...most likely even here or maybe an unheated greenhouse may do here (possibly).

I'll do a search with the alternative name...........

Meanie:

I've been familiar with the shrub for at least 20 years. The name has officially changed to Euclinia longiflora.

This shrub grow very well in Hawai'i.

Here'e an interesting website:
