Nice brug, Melanie. Mine must be the same variety as yours (but I don't know its name, either). Have you gone out at night to smell the fabulous scent? The flowers open wide like cartoon characters at night, too, then close halfway again in the morning. Here's mine this morning, and just a few minutes ago.

I've got a huge plant of Purple Firespike, and have never seen a single hummer or butterfly anywhere near it. Also this orange thing that I thought was Mexican Flame looks like it should attract butterflies too, but again, Nada!
