Clerodendrum incisum is called the musical notes plant because of the shape of the emerging blooms. That plant is about 2.5' x 2'5' now. It will be available at the Dallas RU and the College Station RU--it will root (as all clero's are easy to root); I've already given one to a friend--but I need to start propagating now; So go to the "Dallas--have's and want's lists" to let me know. If you aren't going to the Dallas swap but are going to the College Station swap dmail me so I can start cuttings now that it's between blooming cycles. Here's PlantFiles entry:

Also the little yellow subshrub in the lower left hand corner is very interesting too. Has creamy leaf bracts like the Poinsetta prior to blooming:
