Flame Acanthus (Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii Pumpkin and Red)
This is a plant native to Texas. The flowers are either light orange (Pumpkin) or deep red-orange (Red.) I started mine from some seeds someone gave me. Each year I have more because they re-seed with abandon. It's pretty clear why they have been given the common name Flame Acanthus. 'Don't call the Fire Department - it's just my Anisacanthus!'

How pretty! Mine didn't reseed last year, and I miss it! I'll have to get another one next year and start over.
