This is the other bird of paradise...The red bird of paradise (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) is often mistakenly called the "Mexican bird of paradise" (a similar plant, with all-yellow flowers). They are both big favorites in desert gardens because of their hardy, low-maintenance and relatively drought-resistant nature.
They also attract lots of bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
