WOW! That is one Absolutely Beautiful plant!
I agree with you, plantladylin!
Isn't it Wonderful?? Makes me want to re-think my idea of not wanting plants with thorns! That one may be thorny but it's sure a Beauty!
My favorite plant I have outside in a pot is a cactus with long thorns. Check out her constant blooms.
That is very pretty Gail. Does it have a name? Neat cactus ... the leaves don't even look like cactus leaves and the flower resembles a camellia. I love pink so I really like that one! Look at all those buds!
Yes it does have a name that begins with a p. i will have to go to plant files and see if I can find it. They say to always keep it in a pot as it will take over your yard. let me see if i can find the name and get back to you.
