Peacock Flower (Caesalpinia Pulcherrima


Peacock Flower (Caesalpinia Pulcherrima)
An excellent bush with lovely miniature, they are flowers that bloom in summer. Also known as the Bird of Paradise. The text book advises that seeds be soaked in warm water to soften its tough coat, but when I planted them straight, they all sprouted. Great decorative shrubs for every home-garden. Easy to grow. Ask for a few seeds from the neighbours, they will give it free as the pods grow luxuriously. Plant only the brown mature seeds.
