Robinia hispida

Thanks for the help! The flowers look remarkably like both suggestions, but going from the leaves it looks overall more like the dwarf almond than the cherry. I'm really glad to know what it is! With a name to go from I was able to find out what light/water conditions it likes best and moved it to someplace more sunny. It's producing lots of new growth so I guess it's happy. Thanks again for the help in identifing this little beauty!!!

I think it may be Barringtonia asiatica, box fruit, a drift fruit that is found in Texas. -Scroll down for a specimen that looks like yours. Here is a link that might be useful: Barringtonia asiatica, box fruit

Hans, the leaves are beautiful and green. I generally had weak results with this company's bulbs. I haven't seen any of the 10 blooming yet. Jodi, Neither Vesuvius, nor Jade Serpent are sick at my place. They are very slow shooting up scapes, that is for sure. I have not seen either of them in bloom yet. I suspect that they are Hadeco bulbs, so they like to get planted very early in the season, so the fact that we got them so late stunted their flowering capability. I don't give up on them though. I will see how they do this coming season, and I will plant them as soon as possible, right in September-October. Also, the scape that is emerging from Vesuvius, also "discolored" here. I believe it is because this variety is a deep red colored flower, so it has this special discoloration. Infestation would show up with a visible scar that you can actually touch on the surface. I believe that these three bulbs have insufficient roots developed. Have you checked them? I have seen short scape on Fanfare, but the flowers are fanfare, and the scape and growth is healthy, so the late planting and lack of roots that I'd blame it on. I have had a lot of first year bulbs that did that to me, and I almost always discovered that they had no roots, or just very weak ones, then when they finished pretending blooming, they got very strong and grew wonderful leaves and cemented themselves to the dirt with their roots... Though I cannot rule out the infestation, that is for sure, because I don't know anything about the forementioned Misty you had the same problem with. I just rely on my own experiences with the Hadeco minis that were in the same package, so I should have infestation as well if they were sick. Maria got them now too, so she can tell us if they are sick or not. I believe they are not. They are just planted way late. Sorry about that.
