Terratoonie:

Yes, you were correct! It's a beautiful tree! It's very ironic, I just planted 40 Delonix regia - Royal Poinciana seeds just a couple of hours ago.

Now, that caught my interest...
Where can I find the seeds? From those hanging pods?
How do I proceed to plant them?

Aleyna:

Yes, the pod when they are completely brown...which is usually in the Winter. You can taken the seed pods and open them up...which is pretty difficult because you need a hammer to open the pod. I have instructions how to propagate this tree when you do a search for Delonix regia onGoY you will my instructions steps how I propagate this tree. If you follow these instructions they will sprout in about 4 to 7 days. Delonix regia makes a good bonsai plant also for high-light areas indoor...so I've read. I haven't tried on yet indoors.

I'd love to see it... although the city forest garden (not sure about the translation) might have some Delonix babies :).
BTW thanks for the instructions Delonix, I found it and save it as a file.
The pods are green in that tree, I'll ask the house owner for a mature pod when it falls.

Aleyna, Terratoonie:

I'll be posting some photos of the Delonix regia babies today. They are all starting to pop up over the last week or so. They actually took a little longer than I expected germinate, usually, it's within 5 to 7 days from sowing. They are in my little unheated greenhouse which gets up to at least 95 degrees F/ 35 degrees C. everyday and many times much hotter.

Send some overseas would you???

Aleyna:

Delonix regia can be grown from semi-hard wood cuttings also...however, they really need a controlled heated greenhouse environment to successfully root - from what I've read.
