Hi everyone! Today I'll be talking about the coral tree!
The coral tree, a.k.a Erythrina tree are another one of the common trees here in Indonesia. They are trees with red petals and green leaves, some of them contain more red than green, but here in Indonesia, they are mostly green with some spots of red petals. It grows in humid climates. Even though it is beautiful, the seeds are poisonous. In some parts of the world, it is used for fish poison by the fishermen! #creepy...
