| Blue Curls I would say & a beautiful job of photographing them Fleur. I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown ~~ |

| Lovely flower and photo, Fleur. Could it possibly be Clerodendrum ugandense? GrammaChar |

| GrammaChar, Clerodendrum ugandense is now a synonym Blue Glorybower (Rotheca myricoides subsp. myricoides) |

| Very beautiful banner! I grew these one year seems like I ordered them from a seller in Florida. They are such a different beautiful flower form anything else I ever grew. A friend in Florida grew them of course they grew much larger for her and even wintered outdoors. If you want to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden! Faith is the postage stamp on our prayers!

| When our local Target had a nursery, it carried this plant each year. It's quite tender and couldn't survive even a mild winter in our zone (9a), but I suspect that all of the stores in the Target chain carried the same plants with no regard for USDA zones. In spite of its fragility, I used to buy the plant each year. This beautiful banner reminds me why I paid top perennial prices for plants that could never be anything more than "annuals" in my garden. |
