there are always beautiful colors to bright up the soul!
The Mulungu-do-litoral (Erythrina speciosa), also known as Mulungu or Eritrina-candelabrum, is a tree 3 to 5 meters tall.
One of the most beautiful Brazilian trees, the Mulungu-do-litoral, presents a chandelier-shaped inflorescence, composed of bright red flowers, very attractive for hummingbirds. The trunk is prickly and the wood is light, soft and not very durable.
The leaves are large, shaped like a rhombus and fall in the winter, so the tree remains devoid of foliage during flowering. Flowering occurs in late winter and early spring.
Native to the Atlantic Forest (Brazil), she appreciates the humidity, vegetating well in swampy terrain, along rivers and on the coast. It has an excellent landscape effect, because in addition to its singular beauty, it produces good shade in the summer and allows the passage of light in the winter.
