Last winter I went to HD and found this neat looking houseplant. It wasn't in bloom but the leaves were attractive and I liked the Thorns it had on it.
It blooms quite often (just going by now) and I have decided that I LOVE it. It doesn't grow real fast here in Maine. I have seen pictures of it HUGE in Florida.
As I research them I'm finding that I have become addicted to acquiring them *lol*. I just purchased a pink one and a yellow one on E-Bay and can't wait for them to arrive. I have 2 pink ones coming and a small yellow baby. Mine from HD is a pretty salmon colored one. Sometimes it gives me double blooms (a bloom inside a bloom).
I would LOVE to trade with someone who might have some Thai Hybrids or broken colored flowering ones. I don't have alot to offer but would send one of my pinks and a baby from the salmon one in the picture attached.
I also have an extra beaded hanger (see beaded hanger #4 on webpage) which is made with beautiful Lifesaver colored beads. Pictures don't do these hangers justice. I just made 2 of them for a friend who wanted 2 more and I have another friend who traded me for one and just wrote and asked for one in her kitchen colors. This particular hanger has 9 brass hummingbirds and a cute glass fish drop tassle.
