I am looking for Sesbania punicea- Rattlebox. Have a look at my trade list if you'd like, I am new and don't have a lot though. I am also more then willing to send a SASBE to anyone with excess. Thanks all!
CLOSED: Wanted Rattlebox
This one? Rattlebox, Scarlet Wisteria (Sesbania punicea) http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/29454/
I don't have anymore of them; but I hope you can find someone who does.
Good Luck!!

that would be the one. Thanks for wishing me luck!
I have some pods on my tree at home d-mail me your address.
I hope you have that under control where ever you plant it. Those can kill horses, cattle etc. I believe. I've never seen an orange one so maybe those are different from the ones we get around here. The yellow ones are a weed around here.
CoreHHI can you get me some seed of the yellow?
Not this time of year but I'm sure later on I'll see it will seeds. It is pretty.
Here's what pops up here. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2337/
Different Genus.
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/75232/ This is the one I was looking for. Sesbania punicea, Rattlebox, Scarlet Wisteria. Its a shurb/ patio tree that can get to 15 feet. I wanted it to go with my popcorn cassia, Cassia didymobotrya. It gets about 10 feet tall and looks like a small tree. It gets big clusters of yellow flowers that smell like buttered popcorn.

wow that is very pretty Corehhi. I have your seeds newbie my dh went and picked them off of the tree for me.
thank you both
Give this a try to go with the popcorn. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/772/index.html
I have heard about that, but never looked at pictures. It's really cute. Great, now I want one of those too.
Core I have wanted that one for a while now.
I have a couple small ones so I haven't gotten seeds yet. It really does smell like peanut butter when you touch the leaves. Can be a bush or tree depending on how you prune it. I had a hard time finding one and ended up getting them from forest farms, which is fine but they basicly sell twig size. Grower of last resort for me. They have many good quality small plants and trees. You just need some time for them to get big enough to look like something.
