This shrub blooms all year and is extremely common here in San Diego because of its very high drought tolerance. Photo taken San Diego Zoo on January 26, 2016.

It is a tender shrub. It's native to tropical Madagascar. Many plants/trees native to Madagascar seem to love San Diego's mild subtropical climate. There's so many varieties available...there's several dwarf forms with different color bracts.

Yellow one is also popular in this part of the world. I see lots of them in garden centers.

Yes, the yellow and pink varieties are super popular here! I've got to post a pic of a neighbor's house with so many in pots. The bracts are giant. I've never seen varieties with such big bracts. They have the red, yellow and pink varieties.
