Paid $24.99 + tax, I know I have to have it when I saw the price.

Nice score!!

Thanks I was trill when I found it.

Wow ... that's really a Beauty!! It looks a lot like my Medinilla cummingii: Chandelier Tree (Medinilla cumingii)

I bought my plant in 2008 (at Wal-Mart!) and I wish that I'd bought more than just one because I haven't seen it for sale around here since!

I couldn't find a listing or any information anywhere for Medinilla fruticosa. The latin translation of the word fruticosa is "shrubby" or "bushy" and I wonder if your plant is actually M. cummingii?

There are a few Medinilla's listings in the database, but no fruticosa :

You are probably right Lin, I have look and couldn't find any info on m. fruiticosa.

Whatever it is for that price I would buy it in a heartbeat. She is loaded with flowers so i' m enjoying her.

Could you post a picture of the racime? With open flowers?....

amazing. I'd like to see more of your posts

Cora...I am sure it is M. cummingii. If the pink flowers turn to dark purple balls...those would be seed pods. We have lots of moss growing on trees/rocks etc. (you could use wet spagnum)...and I take the 'pods' and smear them on the moss. In a while there are seedlings. Keep it outside, in the shade tho'......
