Free seed of Erythrina humeana, a South African native. Small tree - I cut mine back to grow as small shrub (about 60cm tall) as it does on the coast. It also encourages more flowers.

I agree that is a beautiful plant. Those flowers are definitely an eye catcher. 

Thanks Mark

Erythrina zeyheri  is also a very nice and smal one from Africa 

Easy to germinate and grow.

Yes Gerard

Erythrina zeyheri  is beautiful.  I have one that I planted 2 years ago.  It should flower this year & hopefully seed (flowers very similar to E Humeana).  This Erythrina has a thick fleshy underground trunk (root) and goes completely dormant in winter.  No trace of it above ground.  Then in spring it grows quite rapidly.  It has huge leaves and stems that ramble along the ground.

No problem guys.  It seems that it is going to take 2 - 3 months to reach you.  Apparently a customs backup on SA side.  Hope they arrive sooner.

Thanks Marius.   Winter coming here in North America so seed starting may wait until early spring.  Unless they need to be germinated right away.   Erythrina crista-galli can be stored for several years and remain viable.....

You're welcome Jimmy. Storing the seed until Spring won't be a problem.

Good Day Marius, Thanks for letting us know that they're on their way. I have seeds coming from Down Under and Asia also. Should be interesting which ones arrive first. Happy Springtime to you!

Good Day Marius, I just wanted you to know that I still haven't received the seeds yet. My guess is that the post office damaged the envelope by running it through the bar code scanner. The seeds,if they are not in another sealed plastic bag they will escape through the hole in the bottom when the machine makes the tear. Had that happened before and the post office sent the torn envelope in a sealed plastic bag without the seeds. It'll probably be a good idea to tape the seeds near the top on the inside to prevent the scanner from running over them, just a suggestion. In the meantime could you please send another batch, deeply appreciate this and thank you. Patiently awaiting, ZenMan 1

By the way, Seeds from Downunder came in 2 weeks ago, still waiting for the ones from Asia, being held up in New York state as of today. They were supposed to have been here last week. Have a great Spring!

A Good Day Marius,

Gerard and ZenMan, let me know how they do for you. 

Jimmyt and the other people that I mailed seeds to. I trust that the rest of you will receive them soon. Keep me updated please. 

My three plants in the garden have leaves already and are growing strong again. I have two seedlings thus far from last season’s seed.

 My Erythrina humeana (?) has become a monster, but I doubt it will ever get tall enough to block the view of the wires and telephone pole I can see from my backyard.:unsure:
