Hiya Kristi, and 1lisac,

I'm glad you've revived the thread, Kristi. And yes, the mysteries of the the plant world keep me guessing too. The more I know about plants the more question I have, and on and on. lol I think you're right that the leave structure of the two kinda of different. Guess what? Mine, the red one bloomed while it's inside too. I haven't moved mine out, but I think I need to do so soon enough. It has been such a mild winter. I'm so grateful for that... BTW, our hummingbirds aren't here as of yet. Seem like you'll get them before I do here. Do keep me posted. Ooh yes, purple is pretty.

Why did our Firespikes bloom so late? I suppose in the tropic where they get a longer growing season compared to what we've to offer them here? Yup, a late bloomer. That's it? And those stinker Anoles, they already pratrolling the garden as well.

Happy Spring!
