Saw this gorgeous Chantrieri at a local nursery yesterday. Boy, was I tempted to buy it. It's 3ft. high and wide, and has leaves 18in. long. Never seen one nearly this size before.

Sanity reigned and I left it for another day. Winter's coming on, and I'd probably be messing with hauling it in and out of the house on cold nights. Maybe in spring I'll give it a try.

But SO pretty - it has the 'black' flowers but white whiskers. Is this unusual?
