I cannot tell a lie. I killed mine, or at least it did not come up last year or maybe I tossed it not realizing there was a dormant plant in the pot. I try to mark the ones that go dormant but the tags disappear a lot.

The one (and it was 1 plant in the photo) was taken in a very cool nursery that has very cool plants though most of the cool plants belong to the owner and he won't share. LOL

Yeah, major lust factor for plants there and all with those 'not for sale' signs on them! I want that yellow tree he has! Can't even remember the name of it and don't have it in my wish list here. Darn.

That's the one!! (your first link) I have only seen it in one nursery, Dig Garden Nursery in Santa Cruz.
http://www.diggardensnursery.com/ although I never checked the price. It was in a HUGE pot.
Some day I will get one.

I bet they are expensive. All the big (botanical and open to the public gardens) gardens have them.

Hey, aren't I so smart too?
