They certainly sound like the ones I saw.

I have a couple of Kniphofia including "Ralph Iddon" of which I am proud

I saw a lot of flowering callistemons in Madeira and they flower failrly

Does anyone know what the name the stunning orange flowered creeper I saw
in full bloom on this last trip.I looked like a super floriferous overlarge
bright orange honey suckle but scentless.
 I am sure you can grow them as
