Wow, this plant looks like Euphorbia cotinifolia - Caribbean Copper Plant, which is commonly grown here.

I love your selection of plants for the new border, Dotty ... you must have done your research well! ... :o)

Delonix it is the smoke bush a beautiful shrub when in flower, Shirley OH took me to the GC and just let me choose my favourite plants, had them for my birthday.

Yes, it is a beautiful shrub! I've seen large trees (of the species) in bloom here in California.

They do grow quite fast here....

I can imagine, especially with all the rain. :>)
