The leaves look like Euphorbia Continifolia, Caribbean coral bush, but the yellow flowers are not right for that plant.

I thought it looked like a euphorbia too, Steve. A description at the link below comments on the "striking yellow flowers" of euphorbia cotinifolia.

Thank you Steve and June, looking at the images of Euphorbia Cotinifolia Midnight Sun, looks like a match. It was on the sale indoors with the type of begonia plants, that was the reason that I put it in a pot in a shady location.

When I was leaving the gardens, a lot of people asked me for this other plant instead and what it was and where I got it.:) After I re potted to a bigger pot it is looking really pretty and bigger in just one month...

Silvia

Silvia, that is such a pretty plant. I use a lot of burgundy-leaved plants in my yard because I think they make a nice contrast. I would have bought it, too!

Carol in Jax

Thank you Carol, I also like the burgundy color plants and I know that you like pink and I do too.:) Right now I have a lot of beautiful peaches in my garden, my new favorite color....

Planted this Amaryllis last year

Silvia

I'm not sure it's Euphorbia cotinifolia. I had a Euphorbia cotinifolia plant years ago and the flowers were tiny and white I think. However, the leaves were the same beautiful color, although I think the arrangement was different. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Euphorbia though. My cotinifolia was planted in the ground and didn't appreciate the abundant summer rains one year. Or anyway, I think that's what may have killed it. I wish Eric would pop in and help us out!

Thank you Anna for your input. I keep telling myself that next time that I buy a plant, to ask for a tag with the name or the care. And I always forget it, when I am at the sale, I am usually in a hurry and the vendors are too.

At that table with similar plants, were a lot of look alikes, very pretty and I remember people were asking questions....

Silvia

Ooooo, that amaryllis is so pretty! I do love that color and it is not common in the amaryllis world.

Always so fun when Eric comes by. In and out - just enough to settle the question. :)

Carol

Thank you Eric, you have the best eyes in the planet!

Thank you Carol, I have nasturtiums in that color too and I will try to save the seeds to have a small patch of peach colored flowers. I think Eric heard an echo of us calling on the plant authority.:)

Silvia

Flowers looked like those of an Oxalis to me also. But I didn't known any with that particular leaf shape. Which presumably - same as with the Euphorbia - the species name refers to, Hedysarum being a genus of Pea family plants with pinnate leaves. (For whatever reason somebody named one of these hedysaroides also, as in Hedysarum hedysaroides).

I hoped Eric would come to save the day! Thanks, Eric! Like Embothrium said, retrospectively the flowers look like those of oxalis.

Glad I can help!

Embothrium, at the plant sale table they were a lot of similar plants and some of them were the oxalis but once you know the right name, you can tell the difference.

Anna, you had a great idea on suggesting to post the picture for the ID, so I can get help from Eric and he saved the day!

I got some good buys at the Leu Gardens sales through the years...

At the same place I also got these begonias, I think.:) I like plants but one of my mistakes is that I don't pay attention to the names, that is the reason that I value all the experts in this forum!

And this one, probably my favorite! The New Guinea vine
