Re: Tropiflora Spring Extravaganza

Hi, Libby. I have a rather large terra cotta pot that I'll plant it in. The pot sits almost against the back fence--so not much chance of anyone walking into it. I think dried boughs with those ivory white thorns might make interesting floral arrangement material. But since I have no idea how fast it will grow, I have no idea if that's even a feasible undertaking.

So does it already have its own ants or do they find it after you plant it?
And I guess you have to plant it somewhere not on the beaten path. Or do
you keep it inside? Cool plant!

One of the more interesting plants we bought was [NOREEN] an ant
plant--a Bull's Horn Acacia [Acacia sphaerocephala Chamisso]. Here's a
picture and some fascinating lore.
