Dale, what are your "exuberant" orange flowers?

When I was in Phoenix, Zinnias were the best summer bloomers I had. Dont forget the Salvias - I'm thinking of the S. coccinea ... I also loved the Dietes bicolor - I think the common name is African Iris? I think this pic is of the Dietes versicolor (sorry, my memory is shot!). The evergreen leaves are slender spikes that almost look like an upright grass, about 2.5' tall.
