Gardengem,

Duranta repens is native to the State of Florida where you live. They are very easy to grow and will naturalize easily.

Thanks guys... and thanks for the info Marguerite! I have also seen these in a butterfly garden I visited.

That is interesting that they are native here, Delonix. I have never seen them in the wild, and I don't think I have ever seen them in home gardens. But that may be due to the thorns you mentioned Marguerite.

I recently purchased one of these. I like how the flower clusters hang down. They remind me of wisteria from a far.
