I have both bidwilli and cristi-galli. The bidwilli is MUCH redder than the cristi-galli is. The herbacea is pretty close to the bidwilli in color, but it only blooms once a year, and the bidwilli blooms constantly all summer long. The herbacea is also not a tree (actually a ditch weed)..no kidding! That's where I got mine.

'Only problem with bidwilli is that it is sterile, and hard as the devil to get to root.

If anybody here has had any luck with rooting them, please share your secret with me.

Here's a pic of herbacea.
