I've attached a picture of a yellow one and a peach one that I have. I'm in Belleview Florida. This picture is from November of 2007. They don't have alot of green on them because anytime they get to dry the leaves turn yellow and drop off. But, they continue to bloom like crazy. I cut them all the way down to the ground every March (they "die" with the first frost every year) and they usually start blooming again in April and continue to bloom all summer till we get a cold snap. I have a yellow, peach and a white. I think they would do better if they had a little shade in the heat of the summer so I planted a tree near them that will hopefullt grow so they can get some afternoon shade. The smell from these flowers is absolutely intoxicating. I've never smelled anything like them. I have them planted in a fenced yard so "kids" can't get to them. People are always saying how gorgeous they are and in the same breath they tell me they are poisonous.
