What a great site! It must be somewhat recent, I had never heard of it until now. I did see it pop up in my search results, but never clicked on the link assuming it was just a vendor's site.

It is a pretty good website, particularly since it comes with pictures of the flowers. It does not give you growing or cultural requirements. I use ISOPE for that information. I think it has been around for at least 3 years?

Thanks everyone for the help and advice! I'll see what I can figure out!

Hello niki_nicole, the Tsubotaara Melinda Marie you asked about needs to be quite moist to wet all year. It is not supposed to drop leaves seasonally. It does not really like warm temperatures, and it does better with high humidity.

Many people grow it in a pot with sphagnum moss, standing in a shallow dish of water. In summer keep it as cool as you can. It will drop leaves if it heads towards dryness.
