I never get tired of looking at these and hope one day they will set seed and I can have many more! I could not resist taking photos of two of mine yesterday and encourage you to add yours to this topic please!

Wow you grow these in the ground in Stuart?

Yes. I'm in  a little micro climate that lets me grow some fairly tropical plants.  I also have heaters that I can add to the more sensitive plants if it's going to be a prolonged cold. But this plant is small enough to protect with a cardboard box.

These photos are very inspirational ! Maybe I will try these again!

Max those are stunning! Just what I want in my Jungle. How long have you been growing them?

Max ceux-ci sont superbes! Juste ce que je veux dans ma jungle. Depuis combien de temps les cultivez-vous?

Cindy I sowed the seeds in 2011 for the one in the pot, the other one which has flowered in the ground since 2014, it was already flowering. Your "mapu" will also be very beautiful.

Thanks Max. I can only dream that mine will be as nice as yours some day.
