Hello, I've been coming to GW for awhile but never had the need to make a account until now. I've been able to help myself coming here by using the search option and reading others peoples post that have similar questons to mine and seeing others responses. This time that cannot work so I made this account seeking help.

Here is some limited info on this plant. My parents went on vacation to El Salvador a few weeks back and my mother saw a plant/tree that she liked and went ahead and picked off a flower and 2 seeds from it and placed it in her purse. Long story short she forgot she picked the seeds and brought them here to Indiana. She didn't think they would grow but we had a few extra pots and potting mix in the garage so she planted. They started to grow after a 10 days and have kept growing. Here is some info on the plant...
- Red flower tree
- Seed germinated in about 10 days
- It started coming out of the soil as a arch shaped stem
- Arch grew taller then notice that the seed was coming out of the soil
- Arch started to straighten with the seed becoming more visible
- Stem is now completely straight with seed at the top.
- little leafs are now branching off the top of the stem that look like Japanese Maple leafs
- Seed is brown in color and size of a dime
