Hello,
I've just joined your Forum and I'd like introducing myself.
I'm an about sixty-year-old french gardener.
My garden lies close to Perpignan in the"Citrus zone", so that the best plants for our gardens come from the Sout-west of the USA, Argentina, RSA or Australia, but they must withstand at least minus 5°C and I must acclimatize them because lots of them had never been grown there.
I've been trying planting the nicest plants I could find for about 25 years.
I'm interested in every nice unusual plant that withstands our climate.
I'built many plants collections. I plant them according their cultural needs for soil, Sun and water.
I like sharing my experiments, so that I'm a chairman in the French Society for Acclimatizing plants, and I wrote many articles in our Newsletter 'Plantaexotica".

Welcome, Pierre; your acclimatising experience will I'm sure be very valuable for us all!

Thanks a lot for welcoming.
I hope I can help some of you.
I try again showing a picture of my garden.
With goog definition, I must reduce more the pic down to 300x 150.
Here is one of the best corner of my garden : big Erythrina crista gali and Syagrus.

Hi there,
I have a stamp featuring Erythrina crista gali waiting for its turn in the limelight.
Do you have a close up of the flowers?
That would be useful as I have never seen this tree so have no photos to accompany the stamp.
-
It's the first time I'm asked such a picture !
My tree is big, it is probably the reason why I can only show a half close-up and a close-up with bee (which is an other passion of me).
If the second one fit your purposes, I can send it in HD to an email address and you could select a portion of it.
Please tell me.

The photos are great. I will refer to your post in a couple of days
