I took another walk at the Desert Botanical Garden last Sunday and I couldn't resist a close up of the bright red poinsettias scattered all around the garden.
A little later, the rose bushes caught my eye. They didn't have a lot of blooms but this one that is called Violet's Pride, had two nice looking blooms that I found very appealing.
After admiring the roses, I found this new plant that was growing a large pot. The sign named it "Vermillionaire". I had never heard that name before. I've seen something similar called a firecracker plant. But I must say vermillionaire sounds way more elegant.

Nice close-up of the "Julstjärna".
Those are sparkling colours!
Beautiful!
Flowers growing outdoors in December... I envy you.
When the desert blooms, it is spectacular.
What a striking colour the red poinsettias have! Beautiful.
It is lovely to see a rose still blooming!
Nice close-ups! I've never heard of a "vermillionaire" (I wonder if that's the name of the hybrid, as opposed to the species?) but something tells me it wouldn't grow here.
Beautiful!
Beautiful!
The last one we call a Cigar Plant, they tend to self seed everywhere but they're pretty.
You got some great close-up shots!
