Jen--YES! It is probably even hotter pink in person!

Amazingly beautiful blooms from this ugly, cruddy plant I have...
Here are some good ones from July of previous years ... G.

First year it bloomed was in 2010. This year--I will only have 2 blooms.
It has bloomed, sparsely, since then.
I have had it since 2005 as a cutting from CA. It hAS GROWN humongous
and it is hard to deal with it --bringing it inside and all that. It weighs about 35lbs!
It is ungainly--lopsided--the fronds look like creeping crud--but that all seems to be normal...
