B-crazii,

I have pretty big work-like hands. When it is growing lushly, many of the leaves are bigger than my hands. Some are about the same size.

The blooms are a deep pink and in big clusters, but as I said in my above post, since I am always cutting it back, it seldom has more than a few clusters on it. If I let it be, as it is now inside (UGH!), I am sure it would bloom more profusely. I cannot imagine how it would look if I did not cut it back! Right now the canes are about 4' tall and bare, except for the ends where the leaves are. Do you think if I let it be, would new leaves re-grow along the stems once I put it outside????

I trully cannot remember WHEN I got the original plant! I have kept it propagated by cuttings forever!

If you look real close, there is a bloom on the lower-right brhind some leaves. Just to get the idea of the color.
