This is the Caesalpinia pulcherrima, and a very common, beautiful plant. You can have your local garden center order it, or there are many sites online from which you may order it. She likes full sun and grows very quickly. Be aware that the seeds and pods are poisonous, so it is a "heads up" if you have children.

Try contacting your local nursery to see if they can order some plants for you if they don't carry them in stock. There are many dealers online that sell these types of plants as well.
