looks like Quesnelia quesneliana. Mine is in bloom at the moment as well

thanks gothqueen

I love the purple tips

I got one of these from my father. He lives in a cold climate, Melbourne, Victoria (Aus). I brought it up to where I live which is subequatorial and it's flowering away happily right now. It's really quite adaptable climatically.

tropic-- it does look happy!

Mine are in bloom too. I'm surprised that I don't see them for sale very often.

elaine--maybe 'cause everyone who admires them gets them gifted by the grower
I just gave away a couple of dozen
