Another of the first blooms in my new shade house! I also bought this guy at Home Depot. It's the first time it's ever bloomed. It's had vigorous growth this year, putting out about nine new growths. One of the leaves is hitting the flower but I couldn't wait for the second flower to bloom before I shared it with you all. It has a very nice fragrace as well.

kind of love it - and the leaves look so healthy and spotless... what grower/nursery? in NY do not see lots of these at Home Depot - actually not at all. some better-gro ones at Lowes. limited choice.
was it this big when you got it?

Hi stefpix! It was in a bag labeled Better-Gro but if I remember correct it came from Kerry's Nursery in Homestead, Fl.

It was in a 4" pot. I tranferred it to what I belive is a 5.25" pot. Last year when i got it it grew 3 growths, and this year I got 9 growths! So yeah, I guess I can claim I grew it to this size
