Erythrina crista-galli seeds

[Izhar]

I went to Mir Afzal Sb. place few weeks back and we saw a beautiful small tree which was on sale in a nursery and was very expensive as well, I was amazed by the dark red flowers, I dont know if it grows in other cities, but we have never seen it in Karachi. I got few seeds from USA, got only 5 seeds to share, pm me if you want these, remember it is a tree and will take few years to bloom. here are the pics from internet:

It'll be flowering the second year from seed if cared well.

Adnan, this good news... does it grow in Lahore?

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

I have 4 plants. Only one is relatively doing well. You have to protect them from cold in winter and heat in summer. I am fed-up of providing them special care, even the blooms are nothing to be proud of.

[Izhar]

Sir is it readily available in Lahore?

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

Izhar, I got them from Lahore Nursary Kalma Chowk.
