Beautiful

they are all over the place in the hot, dry areas of Arizona...both as ornamental and wild ones that got away.

Thank you for this. I just came across these plants in Southern California and wanted more information.

[@battlefoxx]

Hey, I don't see a lot of these in SoCal, maybe out where it is hotter and more desert-like.

[@nowirehangers2815]

Thank you

[@battlefoxx]

yay

[@mattweisbrich3687]

are the seeds edible?

[@battlefoxx]

Nah, I think they are poisonous.

[@Mike-xp1nx]

Could you grow these in MN?

[@battlefoxx]

Pretty hard, these guys like super hot, direct sun; grows in zones 8 and above. It will die in winter climates. However, if you try, you will need to bring it indoors during later Fall through Spring.

No I know how to pronounce it
Thank you

Technically fəˈbāsēˌē or Fah-bay-see-eee, but most people say it like Fah-bay-see-aye, cuz eee-eee sounds sort of awkward.
