The tree which first inspired me to a career in exotic garden design was the
flamboyant tree, (delonix regia), widely viewed as the most
beautiful flowering tree in the world. Unfortunately, it is not remotely hardy in northern climate gardens. There is, however, a close
relative with similar but smaller flowers known as Barbados Pride, (caesalpinia
pulcherrima). Trials as to their cold tolerance in the warmer micro
climate of inner London look promising - Watch this space |
