Ohhhh, you just gave me a flashback.......I apparently had one of these 30+ yrs ago because I immediately recognized it (but not it's name).....and yes it is so beautiful and so very unusual looking......I'll have to look into getting another one.

Chenille is a rather heavy feeder, does not like to be kept wet and I just read this spring that touching it can give some people a skin rash.

I bought one years ago. I think the common name for it was "cat tails." I would love to have another one. I think I will start my own search. This one you have is so beautiful.

Ohhh, pretty! I've never seen one that pretty and lush before. Like some of the other folks, I'm going to have to look around for one for my porch.
