red and yellow flower ID'd by Oron as Asclepias curassavica
« on: January 17, 2013, 02:03:45 PM »
This pretty flower was growing in a trough outside a hotel by the sea last November.
I have lent my plant book to my son so can't look it up.
Any ideas?

Oron,
Many thanks for the identification.
I don't know why I waited two months to ask for it
