Beautiful shot! : > )

Megaskepasma erythrochlamys - Brazilian Red Cloak is one of my favorite flowering shrubs. I have 3 large shrubs in my front yard. One of which I've had for more than 15 years (the mother plant)...it's been moved house to house with me over the many years. I have sold hundreds of cutting-grown plants over the years also. It's the easiest plant to grow from semi-hardwood cuttings. Just stick a cutting in moist soil and they root within about 2 weeks.

Thank you Balcony, as you shall have guessed I'm asking for cutings to try grow this on my balcony... lol!!!
Hi there Bonkers.... I shall take more pictures tomorrow, unfortunatelly last sunday i worked all day and couldnt stop long enough for photos...
Thank you GT :) I'll send the comments to Fernando. He told me today that they saved this plant from the Zoo and it is the first blooming since it was transplanted.

Aleyna:

Yes, they are super easy from cuttings! : > ) They should be semi-hardwood cuttings though.

My very large shrub which is more than 10 feet / 3.1 meters tall and about 15 feet/ 4.6 meters wide is going to be cut back drastically in the next couple of days. I will start several cuttings from branches from this major cut back.
