    Can someone please identify the plant with the coral coloured flower in the attached photo? It was prolifically in bloom last May in Southern England so it's probably an easy one to identify.
    Thanks very much.

    Thank you both, Rob B and Michael F, for your prompt response. Not sure if it'll grow in Vancouver but I'll try to see if it's available.
    Thanks again.

    Should be no problem in Vancouver, there's even a risk it might do so well as to be invasive.
