Pink Pride of Barbados is spectacular. It blooms gobs of vivid pink blossoms with long red stamens, very showy against ferny foliage. It looks entirely exotic, but this desert tree is drought-tolerant and undemanding.

Native to the West Indies, Caesalpinias are much used to brighten Southwest landscaping. They're happy in scorching sun or part shade, will tolerate frost or the worst drought and keep on blooming. Landscapers love them. The red and yellow versions are found almost everywhere in the Southwest.

This pink version is not so common. A small bushy tree, it grows to about 6' tall, perfect for a container, patio, or sunny window. It grows quickly and blooms early. The striking pink flowers are amazing.

Vigorous in warm zones 8 -11, Pride of Barbados loves heat, but can handle a short freeze and will sprout back from the roots. And it's absolutely drought tolerant.

Nick/scratch the hard seed coat. You can use a nail file, or rub gently on the cement, just enough to allow water inside.

Soak in warm water for 24 hours, changing the water several times if possible.

Once the seeds look like they are swollen, they are ready for planting.

Don't bury seeds too deeply, surface sow and then gently push into the soil, covering with a light sprinkling of soil.

Place plastic wrap over your pot to keep in heat and moisture.

Place in a warm spot, but out of direct sunlight until it is established. Remove plastic wrap once you have seedlings.


We recommend starting your seeds in peat pots so you can easily transfer to their permanent location without disturbing the roots. Very drought tolerant once established, prune in spring.

This Caesalpinia needs full sun if you want to see a lot of flowers, so keep this in mind when choosing it's permanent location.

Useful with some scientific corroboration
Format: Paperback
Worth it as a primer to slide content and how it inter-relates to the delivery when giving a presentation. Very slightly laboured, like most TV documentaries nowadays - you feel they could move a bit faster (...yeah we got it the first time).

Simple and streamlined to meet anyone's needs
Format: Paperback
This book rocks! It provide a simple and structured way to define, develop and deliver a "Kick Ass" presentation that you can project or just use from the podium. It bring the audio and visual together to compliment a story to be shared. It has taken the hassel factor out of designing a presentation for anyone on any subject. Thank you!

Lasting value but degraded presentation
Format: Paperback
I've been a BBP fan since the first edition in 2005. The second edition in 2007 was a significant update and refinement. The latest, 2011 edition, is not worth buying if you already have the second edition -- the information is essentially the same but the 2011 is printed on cheap paper and the contrast between text and background for most of the illustrations is lousy, e.g. black text on a dark grey background, white text on a light grey background. I found it very difficult to read. The online version (O'Reilly Safari Books OnLine) is slightly better because it allows you to magnify the low contrast images which makes them slightly more legible. Thankfully, access to the online version is included with the ink-on-paper book free via a scratch-off, lottery ticket-type insert at the back of the book. If I had to do it again, I'd skip the paper book from Amazon and just purchase electronic access via O'Reilly. This version is more legible and you can print important pages that you might want hard copies of to highlight, mark-up, etc.

Powerful for the presenter
Format: Paperback
My boss's boss recently told me that our organization's presentations are boring data dumps that make her wish she was somewhere other than there listening but not really hearing or caring about this slide and dreading the next. She suggested that since I was going to be doing a lot of presentations in the future I should avoid that method and do better presentations. I immediately sought advice from our best presenter and learned that his method came from his gut feelings about what worked better. He has good instincts but to codify what he explained I decided to buy a book to learn why his approach works. The closest book with an effective explanation I could find is "beyond bullet points". It captured and expanded on the instinct my new mentor explained so that I could now understand how to use the slides to supplement the story and how to interweave the data so the whole presentation is more meaningful and memorable. I recommend this book to anyone looking for more of an answer on how to improve their presentations and eliminate the data dump in bullet points.

Good purchase and superb seller.

This is a very good book. I was very satisfied with the service I received, I got the book before the expected time. I was really supprised with the shape of the book...it was a used book but looked like brand new. I say this was superb purchase and the seller was top notch.
