Hi Nifty!
Thanks a bunch :) It somehow feels great to know your plants' identity. Yesterday a bad thing happened... Someone plucked a beautiful branchlet from this beauty and plucked off the leaves! Why would anyone want to do that! I was almost crying, my eyes welling up with tears when I saw it. Here's what's left of it now (with it's two branchlets plucked off and leaves at the bottom torn :(( ) So I decided to fence it now.
