Erythrina herbacea - Coralbean, Cherokee bean
I got this at the DG College Stattion Round-up about 4 years ago and this is the first time it blooms. I have another on in full sun the finished blooming a couple of weeks ago.
All pretty, Jay! It's hard waiting years for the plant to get ready to bloom, but well-worth it.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

I had two of the Coral Beans planted in a shady area. I moved one to a sunnier location last year and it started blooming in april, so I thought it was the sun, but the one in the shade started blooming about a month later. I guess the age of the plant was the major factor with the sun possibly affecting how soon in the year it bloomed.
