Hi all.
I picked this up for $1 but the check out girl didn't know what it is. It grows in quite a few gardens around Adelaide so I know it does OK in my climate. It flowers in Winter with very bright red/orange tubular blooms. Any help would be much appreciated. Sorry about the photo, it was still dark this morning!
Anyone know what this is?

Thanks Hakimoto. I did.
Didn't realise it's classed as a weed!
Still, I reckon it has some potential. We'll see where it leads.
Thanks again.

Just do not plant it in the garden. I lived in a rental once that had one on the fence. The roots grew under the driveway and came up under the house. Shoots kept coming up through the floor boards!
