[miniaturerockgardens] Alonsoa 'Fireball'

From: Louise Parsons <parsont@peak.org>

 Hummingbird plants a special focus for me since they have nested every
year in our yard for more than twenty-five years.  I want to share with you
a nifty little plant for containers that the resident hummingbirds are
going absolutely bonkers for just now.  It is a new alonsoa called
'Fireball'.  It has small (about 1mm) bright and peppy orange flowers, tiny
leaves and attractive dark brown stems.  It has a slightly trailing habit
and does well in rocks.  It can be infinitely pinched if desired and will
bloom all summer....hardiness and species unknown, but I would guess that
it is somewhat tender.   If so  it is worthwhile as an annual if you like
real pizzazz colorwise. 

It is always a special thrill to have the hummers visit my troughs.  They
allow me a good close look.  I have camera and tripod set up, lots of
patience and high hopes!  

Cheers,  Louise
Corvallis, Oregon
