Wow what a beauty. Will it grow in NC. Or in a green house?

Isn't it gorgeous? I see in PF it says it will grow in zone 9a and higher with 20ºF as the lowest temp: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/187999/

I've never seen it here in Florida but might just have to see about trying it to see if it will take our heat and humidity. Sure is pretty!

Truly a Stunning capture of this Exotic bloom

Thanks all! I have one but it has yet to bloom, think I need to relocate it to get a bit more sun, the orange tree shades it too much.

I agree with others, it is an awesome image! I resembles a fireworks burst, wow!
