It has a particularly excellent quality, in that it requires shade, and will bloom in shade. We are always on the lookout for plants that do well and bloom in shade.<BR/><BR/>We grow it here in Texas, but I have paid dearly for it. It is quite expensive, and I have never seen it growing in the wild.<BR/><BR/>bummer.

They have small yellow flowers, that they smell very beautifully. <BR/>They visit the bees for pollen and nectar from December up to February, that is also their duration of blossoming. In Greece we have as decorative plants such bushes in certain courtyards. <BR/>Are multiplied with seeds but also grafts. <BR/>Most likely is that it sprouted in your courtyard, from seed that ate some bird, or if recently you carried earth to be in!KOSTAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876810198913052617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439136098177384900.post-27128652029634465702008-02-03T22:32:00.000+08:002008-02-03T22:32:00.000+08:00Late to the party .. weekends are always a blur .....Late to the party .. weekends are always a blur .. and that plant is truly interesting ...
