Thanks for the comments people. The bracts are an intense orange are'nt they?.
I'm not sure of the cultivar as my sister in law has no recollection of the name what so ever. Common orange varieties include Golden Tango, Orange Ice and Hawaiian Gold, however as Bougie Fan pointed out these tend to fade to a light pink as the bracts mature.
I remember it being in the ground and distinctly recall the colour being maintained until they dropped so I'm at a loss as to what variety I have.
The carving thus far is only really an outline of the proposed hollow so there's still alot to be done in that department. Not to mention more ramification and development of all secondary and tertiary branches. This is hidden fairly nicely by the colour (distracting) and amount of bracts currently growing.
Any suggestions for pot choice? Here's one that I liked.
Cheers!

. I think the mica drum I have it in is not too far off the mark, although the colour isn't right it would be unglazed and more a charcoal/blackish shade. Maybe a round primitive sort of style could work as well.
