Mostly yellow, sometimes orange. There are slight variations in leaf too. They come from southern California and Baja, so meant for an arid climate. I've read about them being a fire follower too. Odd that where hubs found these several bushes is along a road, not near any houses. Somehow they got started there! He thinks the last seeds we tried were too green. He missed them this year, pods all exploded and seeds long gone. He cut some stems, but probably too woody to root, so we will try for seeds again next year.

Okay guys, I need your help. I need to find something to do to keep my mind and hands busy. I can't look at Pinterest on my phone... I was thinking there is something I could be making for my girlfriends for Christmas.. My mind keeps thinking Seahawks aprons but I can't see to save my life. If anyone has ideas please let me in on them. I can't sit and do nothing all day.

Hi Linda! All the ideas you came up with sound great! You can keep busy making gifts for Christmas, and save money too. The only other things I can think of are to make little succulent gardens in small pots. Only takes one succulent bit to start growing, so you only have to have one of each type of plant and break it into bits to root. It takes time for them to fill in, but so pretty when they do.

Loom knitting is supposed to be super easy. I've seen kits at Walmart. Round ones make hats, long ones make scarves. You could do Seahawks colors!!

Oh I love the succulent bowl. I have a bunch growing in my back yard too that will help cut price.

It don't take me long at all to make a reversible apron when the kiddos aren't around and up my tail... Maybe 3 hours total

That's not bad. Even if you are using two seperate types of fabric. Chose that route cause the Seahawks fabric will be more expensive so I want to cut the amount by doing the top part green. I would have to make four of them
