I see your other pic posted. Do they relax their leaves when they flower?

Of course I saw it LOL!
I'm still trying to figure 'it' out though. Odd looking and cool looking, that's for sure.

Ok, Google is bringing up more pics, it is an odd looking plant indeed.

Not entirely that rare though as Annie's used to carry it.

Too funny, I knew it would catch your eye, Sue. So Annies used to carry it? Why do you say used to? I want it even more after looking at your link. What makes it be tight then relax?

I am going to Annies soon. I haven't been their all year. But I am not buying any plants. I swear I tossed so many dead 4 inch pots out today. Lots with the Annie tag. New rule, no plant can be bought unless it has a place to go to immediately. No more adenaline rush buys.

Yeah, right, famous last words I have used many times myself, it doesn't work.

You probably mean Kell. Not sure if she ever got it but I had it, my photo is in the PF and frost took it before I remembered to protect it. Annie's has them in stock right now as the link previously posted shows. :-)
