These beautiful flowers from Africa are also known as "the flame of the forest". The tulips are open and branched, evergreen tress of African forests. They are bell-shaped orange/red flowers with a yellow border and 4 brown anthered stamens in the center. With the flowers, comes with 5-10 green/brown fingerlike pods pointing upwards.They grow up to 7-25 meters tall and sometimes they're even called "the fountain tree" because water is sealed in the flower buds. If you slice it open, it would squirt out like a fountain. Also, hummingbirds love African Tulips!
