    Bernhard – these are such beautiful flowers! How are they called? Is this a bush or tree? Maybe a vine, like the Passion Flowers? To tell sincerely I have never seen such beauty before, but I would really love to have one.

  • Hallo Mary, this is a tree called African Tulip Tree (Spathodaea campanulata). It is a tropical tree flowering now for a lang time – you must come to visit Vallarta to see it! Have a good day
    with friendly regards
    Bernhard!
