Glad I could help. I enjoyed the search ^_^

Ian, you're awesome! I've never heard of them. I'll update it now.

I found the little beauties http://www.google.com.ph/search?q=Cuphea+Llavea&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=B44&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=TvNzTsSlHMGZiAf6iuXRDQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CA4Q_AUoAQ&biw=1397&bih=759 probably the 'Flamenco Samba' hybrid

Me too! I'm really curious to see what this is. I'll snap more pics this weekend... without the dog :)

Thanks. It's a first for me too! Wish I got better pics but I was walking a very impatient puppy :)

Cool flower. I've never seen this before.
