Let me second that recommendation for this wonderful plant. Few people ever
give the blossoms a close look...but they are surely among the most
beautiful on any plant. I planted mine about 15 years ago and in the great
freeze is was zapped to the ground. It took awhile but it came roaring back
and is now 12 ft but can be kept half that size. I have two seedlings for
the first time. The large leaves are also attractive. I've seen the other
forms at Kirstenbosch but I do not think they are available in the US. UCSC
Arboretum introduced them here.
