The furious orange
A furiously growing, orange-flowering, plant in the front garden, competing with the many pink, white and purple azaleas that are otherwise dominating the colour palette of the spring garden. I am yet to determine the precise name of my little orange storm. It looks a bit like lantana, but it is not lantana. It also looks a bit like Sunsatia Blood Orange Nemesia or Geum 'Borisii' Avens, but I don't think it is either of these. So it's an orange mystery - but it is certainly furious.
Update, thanks to Viv Vivekananda, an intrepid Flickr photographer of all things including flowers, this is called 'The Marmalade Bush' or Browallia 'streptosolen'. I think 'Marmalade Bush' sounds better than streptosolen - lol. And the flowers do look like marmalade!! See:
