I don't know, am I?


Tulipe de Gabone lacks mentions on the web, but Gabon Tulip Tree appears
to be one of the less used names of Spathodea campanulata. Since you're
the person who saw the plant you're best placed to look at photographs
on the web and come to a conclusion as to whether the two are the same.


I posted a link to where it was referred to as Tulipe de Gabone.

Thanks Martin and Stewart, it is indeed the Tulipe de Gabone, now I
just have to order some seeds.
