This is what we call shrub is called down here. About 4 years ago, a landscaper had identified it for me, and I have hunted and hunted for the paper where I wrote it's scientific name and came find it anymore.

I call, it maybe a semi-woody, it's deciduous. Don;'t know if you can see in the pic or not put it sends up a very thin stem that looks like a very thin piece of thread. At the end of the thread, very tiny pink flowers will bloom in a star shape. After the flower blooms it makes these little red, orange and yellow, tiny balls, that look like the balls you find on the end of a ladies hat pin. Hence the comon name. It's a somewhat slow grower and branches out into a shrub form. I was told there was a varigated version too.

Thanks!
