I think that is it! Thank you, especially for the swift reply.

susanc & seedmoney: Thank you so much for your help! The plant I painted looks like a cross between BOTH of your finds: -- the Hakea Denticulata thick fuzzy leaves and the red+orange color of the flowers... -- the Holly-leaved Grevillea has the long colorful flowers growing from the bulb clusters but the leaves are more like holly, not as thick and fuzzy. Here is the original photo I referenced to create my painting: Here is a link that might be useful: The Original Photo (my reference to my painting)

That's it! Thanks so much. :) It's pumping out seeds like crazy. Let me now if you'd like some. Thanks again.

Compare your neighbor's plant to Alyogyne huegelii, Blue Hibiscus. Here is a link that might be useful: Google image results
