| Hetty, some how I missed this photo being posted. What an amazing plant. Sure wish I could grow it here. The entire plant is interesting, and the blooms are stunning. Can't wait to see it in full bloom. |

| Lynn you could grow it in a pot indoors; I originally (years ago) acquired it from someone in Chicago. Its quite a fascinating plant. |

| Okay, you made me happy. Now where can I find one? How big was yours when you got it in a pot? |

| Logees has them listed...... They do pretty well from cuttings but they do not develop the fat trunk that seed-grown specimens do. Mine was pretty big when I got it (about 18" tall and about 5" diameter trunk) and if I had kept it in a pot I would still have it. But I planted it in the ground and it decided it was going to be a tree.... so now it lives at the Naples Botanical Garden where I have visiting rights  |

| Wow, how long ago was that, and how big is it now? Your photo of the entire plant looks quite large. |

| That was hmmm about 7 years ago and it is now an 8 ft tall tree. But if you leave it in the pot it won't get that big at all. |

| I just read that it will attain about 4 ft if in a pot. Thank you Hetty for the information. |
