firebush (not the tropical)
Anyone know of a shrub commonly refered to as "firebush" in the south?
An older lady wants me to find her one and she does not know the shrub's true name - it sounds a lot like a quince from the description: thorns, new leaves are red, red blooms, blooms around the same time or right after forsythia... But I have not heard anyone refer to a quince as firebush before. |

Probably Hamelia patens

Could it be a sort of ornamental witch hazel? I've seen a yellow variation
here, rusty red in Europe. zemedelec |
