Aww thanks . . . and yes you probably do if you don't already have any. They're really beautiful and the butterflies and hummers love them. It's called a Red Bird of Paradise aka Pride of Barbados (and a few other names I can't recall at the moment)

I've got several of them and enjoy them a lot. They're easy to grow and pretty much carefree. Water once a week - even in this hot dry summer - and they thrive and bloom from Spring till Fall.

I've got a few cuttings and seedlings started for the SA area RU coming up and I'll have plenty of extra seeds very soon if you're interested?

Check out the PF page for more info and a few more images I posted there of them.

Here's another one with some pretty little yellows on it.
