Don't cry Annie - it definitely flowers around here without smoke. Its
definitely not as prolific in its flowering as the A ecklonii though. No
proof, but to my observation its one of those species which has a long
developmental time & must be fully vegetativally mature before it flowers..
If theres one thing that gardening teaches you - its patience.
