Elderberry-Rob said...: I,do love this plant, it grows in so many countries, i think the flowers are leaves maybe, would love to grow one in the uk but probably too cold.; 18 February 2019 at 20:12

Barbara Rogers said...: One of my favorite tropical plants...such great color! And then they drop the blossoms all over the place too! I've had potted ones hanging on a porch...in Florida. Can't keep them alive here in NC.; 19 February 2019 at 13:14

Ruth said...: Years ago I bought a plant at a nursery (in Pennsylvania, USA) and was amazed by the beautiful papery flowers - they dried just as they are, so I saved them in a jar. Sadly the plant didn't survive. They really are fascinating!; 20 February 2019 at 16:05
