The first time I saw these trees was in Jamaica, huge trees covered in red
flowers with the most delicate foliage. I couldn't believe it and having
seen them almost everywhere tropical we have been I still think them hard to
beat.
I read somewhere that all those in cultivation came from a single tree in a
village in Madagascar.
