It was just growing by a wall. ID please - @Silver surfer . This was on Ciovo, Croatia.

Nice find...well done.
Maybe with global temps changing one day we will find it growing in UK!

It is Caesalpinia gilliesii.

Quote wiki....."It is a striking ornamental plant native to South America, mainly Argentina and Uruguay. It is naturalized in Texas, and fairly common in the rest of the southwestern United States, where it is known as bird of paradise bush, desert bird of paradise, yellow bird of paradise, and barba de chivo."

EEECK! Correction...blinking name change ...sorry.

Now re named Erythrostemon gilliesii.

WOW, thank you @Silver surfer . That link you took me to is fabulous.
Quite a bobby dazzler isn't it.

 

You never saw my one then

 

I must have been looking the other way Pete.
Where is it please?

 

pete..that is just gorgeous.
It is a stunning plant.

 

I used to grow a few but never had the sun and warmth of where @pete lives to flower like that

 

I grew it for over 20yrs on the west facing wall of my house, last year it flowered exceptionally well in the hot summer.

Sadly it died this year, but left me lots of seed to experiment with.
It was fairly spectacular when in flower.

 

wow - thanks for that Pete. Hope you can raise new ones from the seeds.

 

Love the colours. If you can do the Protea from seed, you can do anything!

 

Pete. That really is fab, even without flowers, I'd bet it looks great. First time I've seen it.

 

Stunning plant @pete .
