RE: plant question

Auralie,

I only used it in dish gardens and containers for its diminutive size.
When entering in flower shows, I like to keep everything in scale.

Thanks so much, Chris.  That is what it looks like.  I wonder where the
other 
name came from - I have looked at it carefully, but can't make serissa
out of 
what is written there.  Does it need to be in a terrarium, or will it
grow 
well in a pot?  I think it is a charming plant and it should be perfect
in 
our miniature flower shows.
This greenhouse at Lasdon Park & Arboretum is run by volunteer members
of the 
Friends of ...  The person in charge is an orchid specialist, but he
just 
doesn't really focus on any other type of plants.  
Thanks again.           Auralie
