Schizostylis coccinea 'Tambara' or more correctly Hesperantha coccinea 'Tambara' after Dr. Peter Goldblatt's reduction of Schizostylis to Hesperantha. Anyway it's a fine plant, lovely colour, however, it's probably in the wrong place. As you can see, I have Phygelius 'Sunshine' in the background. Bit too much of a contrast. Apparently 'Tambara' is a habitat collected clone.

I've been told I have the true 'Tambara' as there are many other colours offered as 'Tambara' in the UK. The colour of the pic is very close to its actual colour.
