Hi again friends, this is an old photo but I’ve always wondered what the name of this beautiful species is 🧐
The leaves of this tree were alternate and simple, and ovate in shape. The tree was about 8 meters tall. The flowers were a bright magenta, found in clusters along the edges of branches.
Long vine like limbs. Bright pink flowers. 2 centimetre Long thorns spaced evenly along the limbs. Leaves are small and green.
Pallarenda.
One patch - possibly only one plant. But well and truly going feral.
