Orange you glad?

Aren’t you glad for orange in the garden?
I know I am whenever I look at the Mexican flame vine (Pseudogynoxys chenopodioides) in full bloom, attracting tiger swallowtails who refuse the paparazzi’s plea for a pose.
And I’m glad for orange when I stroll past my cigar plant (Cuphea ignea), still going strong well into November.
Orange you glad too?

Your flame vine is gorgeous and I’m sure you are very glad. I’d be glad if I could get this vine to grow. Maybe I lost it because of last winter, but it never did amount to anything during the summer. Of course, I could try buying something other than a 4″ pot. That might help. .
Those are gorgeous! What a pretty pop of color.
I love that color in the garden. Always a nice surprise.
I didn’t think I liked orange flowers at all. California poppies were apparently my gateway drug. Now I have an entire bed of various orange flowers. I guess that proves the old adage, “Never say never.”
Love the cuphea in front of the artemesia…beautiful, subtle color!
I’m putting Mexican Flame Vine on my “must plant” list for next spring, thanks to your images!
The orange is soooo beautiful in the garden! Your photos are great. You have some wonderful flowers! Happy weekend!
