Caesalpinia pulcherrima Seeds.
This common Arizona and Texas desert shrub is called the Red Bird of Paradise.
I found the following information in this site:
http://tjsgarden.com/2012/07/09/red-yellow-orange-flowers-bushes-arizona-texas/
" The botanical name for Red Bird of Paradise is Caesalpinia pulcherrima, it is a species in the FABACEAE Family, more commonly known as the pea, bean or legume family. Red Bird of Paradise is also the NATIONAL flower of the Caribbean island of Barbados, which is why you may hear it called Pride of Barbados.
To germinate the Red Bird of Paradise seeds, I simply soak the seeds from the bean pods in water for 24-48 hours. Plant them in peat pots, barely cover the seeds. They germinate. If you decide to use the paper towel method to germinate your Bird of Paradise seeds, if a white shoot appears, plant it with the white root DOWN. Cover the seeds lightly with damp soil. Red Bird of Paradise seeds need at least 8 hours of sun, but not direct sun it will be too hot! You can start to give them a little more direct sun after the first leaves appear. "
The three last pics are mine. The first two belong to the web site mentioned above.
