Thanks, guys. Here is the C. mexicana below. It is nice but not as impressive as the other Caesalpinias in my opinion. I grew a bunch of the C. mexicanas from seed. They did well with little care, and some of the flowered in the second year. I tried to grow some C. pulcherrima seedlings once, but they needed a greenhouse in the winter and didn't survive outdoors even in my Zone 10. I think they need a lot of heat when they are young to survive.
