The one that I grew last year has grown really, really well but no sign of blooms. This is really nice!

The leave's are that nice Meanie, I dont think its too bad if it doesen't flower, I dont overwinter mine, not even in the greenhouse, they have no chance :(

A lot of the hybrids are carriers apparently.

This grows wild here but no one is growing them anymore . I hate to use this phrase... 'because it is out of fashion..'. It was mostly grown in Government office premises. Must be a colonial left over. Personally, for me, if I like something, no matter how out of fashion it is...I will still have it.

If I remember right, the seeds of this is used for jewellery making in India.
