Caesalpinia pulcherrima or the peacock flower or the pride of Barbados as it is called is a beautiful bush. It grows in the wild and can withstand drought and hot weather. It is thorny and needs care while handling it.
These flowers come in plain while, yellows and orange, but they also come in red and yellow, pink and white and orange and yellow. My favorite is the pink.
It is the national flower of the Caribbean island of Barbados. Its also called the Mexican bird of paradise. The origins of this bush is unknown , however it can be found all over the tropical regions.
I have been trying to make a bonsai of this plant but haven’t had much success. I do not have the space for this huge bush and a bonsai would be lovely.

This plant is really something special. I see her for the first time.
It is a beautiful flower, did not saw before.
I would love this in my garden, very unique.
I have seen this flower not remember where exactly
What a beautiful bush flower which is named very aptly as the peacock flower with that beautiful pink… I am sure it would not grow here in Canada at all except maybe indoors only…
Beautiful flowers, thanks for sharing.
We have three colours in this and I was frantically searching what they were called. I am happy I found it here. Thanks. We used to call it jungle fire.
The only minus point is they have thorns.
It’s a pretty flower / bush, I hadn’t heard of it before!
