OH!!! I have had this plant on my wish list for years. When I saw this one in Tom's greenhouse, that was it...in the truck it went! There are three blooms on this one and the colors really pop!

The plant has started turning redish/purple since it's been in the greenhouse...I'm so glad I didn't walk away from this beauty!

The color combo is too fantastic on this. I wish I had the right light for these, not to mention, the room.

Love this one!

I have 2 and neither one has bloomed yet. Your is awesome. I don't think I could have left it even though I already have 2.
