Who can object to a plant that is both so prolific and so beautiful? In the spring, my wife had expressed a desire to grow one of these as a container plant. I ran across this particular plant at Lowes. Given how hot this summer has been, the poor thing has wilted on numerous occasions but always seems to revive after a good watering. Obviously the stress didn’t hold down production much. Now all we have to do is to find a use for all of these lovely little incendiaries.









Hhmmm – my taste leans more to the milds. But have to say the plant overall is eye catching.
