They sit on the side of a very busy street in downtown Savannah ..

      Of course I spelled it wrong the first time.

      Cherry, I googled for 'tropical flowers with prominent red stamens; and found six likely candidates. The one that most closely resembles your flower and its foliage is
      Metrosideros polymorpha
      Search for that and see what you think.

    Pineapple guava -- I should have known it would be simple. All in the myrtle family. Fun post.

    This is very pretty and so different from anything we have here in Minnesota. I hope you are able to find some seeds.
