Help me identify this plant

[Dkoinut]

Several years ago I got seed for and grew this plant. It's color is  Red-Orange and grows about 3 foot tall in my clay flower beds. The leaves are very fine and similar in shape to Gay feather. Can anyone to identify it? I may have some seed to share, but if not now, i will in later this summer.

It looks like a Cardinal flower....Lobilia cardinalis, but the ones I have have different leaves.

Thanks txpondnut. I believe you got it.  The ponders I recieved it from didn't know the name either. And I didn't know it was a perennial, but it easily reseads its self. I can see where the Cypress name comes from whith the cypress like leaves. I just checked and don't have seeds now, but i will next fall and will offer them then.

I've never seen it before nor heard of it but I'm sure that is it. Those leaves are very distinctive.

It remeinds me of a plant I see growing wild in vacant lots near my work, but they have pale pink and very small flowers.
I would be interested in a trade for some seeds when available. LMK. I might have something to interest you in a trade in late summer.
