Hi Sharon, I am intrigued by this plant, what is it called and can we buy it in the UK? I imagine it prefers a warmer climate than that of the UK but wouldn't mind giving it a go. ;)
I like experimenting with tender plants especially of the tropical kind, not that I have much success, but when I do, it is very gratifying. :)

Roy ;D

Hi Roy,
Sorry I don't know what the English name for these. And I never saw it in the garden centre. This one was I brought it in 6 year ago from Hong Kong.
It had a lovely Chinese name which mean "only that flash moment" so think don't last long or person that only show up a second that disappear. I'm still waiting for mine to flower yet. But I have been seem one that was flower and it made the whole room was full of perfume,it was really great scent
