| Hi,
I live in central Israel, and the following are two trees I've spotted and haven't been able to identify. I was hoping someone could help me recognize the trees, or at least point me in the direction of which family they belong to. This is the first:
It's completely bare except for the red blossoms. The second is:
The blossoms are orange, but the tree is still mostly green. This isn't a trait of one random tree - all of the 'red trees' are bare, and all of the 'orange trees' are still leafy. Hope this was the right forum to ask this in, and I appreciate any help you can give me. |

| The usual forum is Name That Plant. Both are without doubt species of Erythrina (coral-trees, coral-beans). My first thought was E. lysistemon for the one with narrower flowers, E. caffra for the broader flowers. But with some doubts. Both are southern African species. |
