OK, it's not native to Texas. Or at least not the modern boundaries of Texas. Plants don't pay any attention to political borders. Russelia rotundifolia 'San Carlos'. It was collected in northeastern Mexico. It's a real showoff when it gets a bit of moisture. Blooms in waves, then rests and repeats several times a year. Almost always has a few flowers. Evergreen here. I have photographed it repeatedly and the color never seems to be accurate. It may be one of those refracted light colors that are perceived by the eye, but not the camera.
