The first blooms on my Sutherlandia! Had to bring it back into the conservatory as the heavy rain snapped one branch.
Must say a big thanks to Plantaholic for sending me the seeds last year. Thanks!

Thanks all!
I want to get it outdoors to see if I can get the seed pods to form.
Pimpernel/ Sticki - it is indeed a member of the Fabaceae family!

The seed pods will form inside or out M, I had so many last year I was cutting them off to keep it flowering, by the end of the summer you will have lots :o)))

Ah...........I was wondering about pollinators.

Have posted a pic of mine taken 21-4-11 its a bit ahead of mine this year but it shows the number of pods you can expect :o)

Meanie:
Great photo! Love the way the camera makes it look almost exotic. This is a very commonly grown plant here in San Diego and throughout most of CA.

It is exotic here in chilly Blighty Delonix!!!!
