Hello again,
On my recent trip to Mexico we explored the Mixteca Alta region of
Oaxaca and were lucky to eat a dish made with the beautiful red flower
known as Colorin or Tzompantle. The tree was barren of leaves but
filled at the tip of the branches with clusters of small trumpet-like
red flowers. The base of the flower was like a triangular shaped
mushroom that held the red trumpets.
Served traditionally with scrambled eggs, they tasted like a cross
between a mushroom and wild rice.
Does anyone know the latin name of the tree or any other info?
Thanks,
Shelora
