Variegated Fireman's Cap-pic

I don't have the latin name to my little tree...but it is in full sun which helps make the leaves get more variegated and bolder..it is under 2 feet tall...

Erythrina indica picta _ sunshine coral tree

Thanks ya, Kyle...

Updated pic-taken on June 11,2006. The leaves are getting more variation in yellow and green color ...

Here they call it the Samoan Sunshine Tree....I really like it!!!

Oh I just saw a photo of that on site that was charging an arm and a leg! I hadn't heard of it before but Modene the variegation is just gorgeous!

This one didn't cost me anything..lol...

Hey are you holding out on us?

Holding what out on ya'll????lol

Oh my! This makes a variegate fancier weak in the knees! I've just gone on a short Google hunt for seeds and so far, they're not easy to find. I did see one of the plants (small!) for sale for a handsome price, though. Didn't cost you anything? Good score!

Ok, that's fine I didn't want one any way (not much!) LOL. Very good score.

I was told that I can take cuttings of this tree when it gets older so we will see....

I've wanted one of these for soooo long! I think they are beautiful. I recently saw some "full grown" trees of these in Mexico... too bad none were in bloom or had seeds!! ;)

Well do keep us informed.

Just found some info on this tree..it gonna get atleast 40 feet tall!!!

This tree is getting better and better looking...I even had people stopped by the highway taking pics of my little tree...

Great looking tree! I have never seen nor heard of a variegated coral tree!
Congrats on having that beauty.

I do know I can do wood cuttings to get more babies from this puppy...but it is gonna grow up first..lol

Foot tapping . . . waiting . . . waiting . . .
