Re: Heat Loving Plants with Orange Berries, Leaves And Flowers?

Title: Re: Heat Loving Plants with Orange Berries, Leaves And Flo
Hello,
 
I am going to redo my front yard with heat loving plants since it faces west and gets very hot in summer.  I want to use some plants with orange leaves, berries or flowers to pick up the color of my front door which is painted Red Cayenne (which is sort of an orange/pink/red color combination).
 
Two plants I can think of are a ground cover type pyracantha with orange berries and an orange sedge which Annie's Annuals has and I have grown at another location and was quite happy with.  
I did get on a site from England that talked about a beautiful tree called Sorbus 'Sheerwater Seedling' which had spectacular orange berries but I am not sure where I would get this plant. 
 
Can anyone recommend any other plants.  I don't want to use plants that grow over 4 to 6 feet high (I don't want them to block out the front windows completely).
 
Thanks for your help.

Hi LInda

Orange is my favorite garden color!  There is a toyon that is supposed to have orange berries.  It was grown by the SAratoga Horticultural foundation and I don't recall the variety name but someone on the list will know.  I haven't found it in the trade but if you find it, I'd like one too!

Other orange colored  heat lovers:


I know others will come to mind...
