Question
I have a flowering houseplant.  It has bright pink flowers that bloom constantly.  I was told it is a flowering oak.  I cant find any pictures of it.  Is there such a plant.  Thank you.

Answer
Hi Dona,

Flowering oak is known botanically as Chorizema cordatum. It is more requently called Australian flame pea.

Here is a site that has many photos that you can click on to see this plant:

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
