The Pea family?

Hard to believe but this beautiful coral tree (erythrina lysistemon) is a species of deciduous trees in the pea family.

They are native to South Africa and blooming all over atm.

Never would have guessed it. Beautiful capture of the blossoms. Near Tucson, AZ, they have the Sonora outdoor museum. One of the garden areas shows South African plants and US Southwestern plants that look almost identical, but have no related genes. Just the environments made them evolve that way.

A very beautiful shot of this tree. I love the mottled Impressionistic background.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Interesting plant/tree. I can't think of any flowering tree around here that has such a vibrant color. Most of them are soft pinks and white.
