Description

This one is cheating; it's in my garden. I brought it a couple of years ago at a farmers market in Orewa and have never been able to decide if it is C. puniceus or C. maximus. I currently think it is C. puniceus as J. Dawson & R. Lucas claim that C. maximus is unlikely to self seed; and as you can see I have had no problems harvesting seed and growing them.

The picture of the flowers was this plant in 02/09/08.
