Keep Wimberley Beautiful: The Pride of Barbados
Submitted by Wimberley1 on

You know summer is here when the bright orange and yellow flowers of Pride of Barbados (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) bloom. It will continue to bloom on through the fall until we get a frost. All of my Prides froze to the ground last winter, but every one of them returned. The plant I have had the longest blooms first and each year it gets bigger. There is a lovely specimen behind the fence of the Wimberley Visitor’s Center facing the Brookshire Brother’s parking lot.
