What they were doing there together is still an untold story, but what resulted is one helluva offspring. Erythrina x bidwillii emerges from the ground in late spring to form a 6' tall x 8' wide mound of arching stalks adorned with giant, pea-like foliage. From June until frost, the 6' long stalks are topped with 20\" long terminal spires of bright red, lipstick-like, hummingbird-preferred flowers...so incredible it's hard to describe.
