Thanks PP and Amy - these are rather common over here in the north ... mainly because they're such a heat and drought hardy plant and put on this fabulous display!

Actually I just saw two new varieties this morning when I popped into my favourite nursery - couldn't get them today ... but I think it will be soon!!!!

Bernieh:

Beautiful!

Have you seen the yellow bract variety there? I've
seen some...however, they are pretty rare.

No Andy haven't seen the yellow one - the nursery had a two-tone light pink and a deep red. Like the sound of the yellow one as well.

Bernieh:

The yellow variety used to be available at a nursery in
Northern San Diego County. I'll have to check this
spring to see if it's still available...I may try one. : > )

The yellow and the white would look terrific together!
