I want your nursery here. What great plants. I WANT that Tibouchina!!! I love them. Are those flowers pink? I have 4 big Tibouchina urvilleana and they are pretty hardy. This last winter mine did die back a bit when it got down to 27 at night for 10 days but finally grew back and started blooming 2 weeks ago again. I should get blooms right up into December. I grow mine as trees and they are beautiful with tons of flowers. Very easy too. I did lose one to cold I bought last year though. It was still in its 5 gallon pot, a Tibouchina organensis. I need to go buy it again. Liz got one too.

A friend gave me a small Alamanda 'Cherries Jubilee' and I love that too. Boy, I want to visit your nurseries.

I did just buy a 3 gallon Pride of Barbados at HD. First time I ever saw it here. I bet it died over winter but it was only $10 so worth the thrill of having it awhile to see those flowers.
