Title: What is this?

Anyone know what this flowering bush is?  For those that don't know, we live in Austin if that helps.

Crap, I know what it is but can't think of the name.  And of course all my gardening books are in storage.

I found it online. I'm almost positive it is a Desert-Willow.

Looks like I need to cut the new grown off the base of it, like a crape myrtle.
