We saw this red flowered tree during our recent trip to Santa Barbara, California .. I've cropped one photo of the flower so as to provide an up close look. Also, I included a seed pod picked up in the area. There is certainly nothing like that here (Vancouver) - any ideas? Thanks in advance.
It is Erythrina sp. Possibly Erythrina crista galli. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=:...ChMI3vDj9s_qxgIVoQfbCh19qgDs&biw=1536&bih=728
Yes, that appears to be it. Thank you again, Silver Surfer - as usual, you are a wealth of information. Stay tuned .. another Santa Barbara tree going on line soon. Don Wilson, Surrey, B.C.
