Sir, Description of *S. greggii* can be found at - http://www.botanicus.org/page/431601 and illustration in the previous page http://www.botanicus.org/page/431600 of the same Curtis's volume. Dave's Garden has a photograph http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/6808/.
Though I fail to see hairy stem and bracts in the attached photographs I also think it might be *S. coccinea* cultivar for its leaves in the third photograph (DSC01302-B). The leaf in DSC01176-B seems to be of a different plant. A cultivar named as "summer jewel pink" looks similar. Last but not the least is that I do not know any of the species being discussed here.
