Retama?

I vote for Retama. Pride of Barbados is commonly used as the name of
two different plants, as is the name Bird of Paradise. Caesalpinia
gelliesii (Poinciana or Bird of Paradise) is the more cold hardy of
the two. The following link will show pictures of both and also
Retama.

Turns out they are Esperanza... Beautiful color! Those with the Pride of
Barbados should look nice in my dad's back yard.
