Cockspur Coral Tree growing and blooming at Point Loma, San Diego, CA. Unfortunately, not the clearest photo due to sun angle. Posted for Meanie. Photo taken May 28, 2010.

Great! : > )
My observation is that Erythrina species grow much faster and bloom more prolifically when planted in the ground...as you can tell by this fairly small tree.
I'll post a pic of the larger one around the corner from my house...as it's full of buds now, even though about 5 - 10 feet was cut off the top. It would have been blooming months ago, if it hadn't been hacked back drastically.

What else?
See who else is growing Erythrina crista-galli - Cockspur Coral Tree.
See who else has plants in genus Erythrina.
Hey! That looks just like my place!! An Erythrina, and a Strelitzia.
Come to think of it, my Erythrina is maybe a wee bit smaller and I can't recall my Strelitzia ever flowering!!!!
Thanks for the photo. I have a friend who thinks that the Erythrina would make a great Bonsai project.
