I have a fairly extensive collection of hummingbird plants and this year I added two magenta firespikes and a pink one that I took cuttings from and is now four plants. I already had red and purple firespikes.

My magenta firespikes are just starting to bloom now. This is ideal for me, since the red ones started blooming early this year (late June) and the purple ones usually start sometime in January, unless we get a hard freeze. In that case they might not bloom at all.

The pink firespikes don't show any sign of blooming. I purchased the mother plant at the annual plant sale at Leu Gardens, which was, I believe, in early March. It was in full bloom then.

I'm wondering about the experiences others have had with these plants. I know they bloom at different times, depending upon where you live in the state and the weather. I live in Central Florida, about twenty miles due west of Orlando. I'd like to hear what others have to say about these plants.
