Looks just the same as the one I posted Shirley, although as Delonix pointed out, there are a few varieties!
Must be nice to live amongst such beautiful plants Penaselvagem!

Heavenly, Meanie, I'll never get to Rio, hate flying and just about manage Europe at a push !

Ladies i would love to show you around if you are ever over this way. The nature never ceases to amaze me hence my new-grown obsession for gardening. (they have a saying here about Rio being a paradise - apart from some of the people that Mother Nature dumped here!!)

Ladies, thanks again.

Apologies Sir!

Sometimes it's very difficult to decide from the Avatars who is male or female on here !
